Yorkshire plan for future as SEVEN young stars pen new deals at Headingley

Brook, Ben Coad, Matthew Fisher Will Fraine, Tom Loten, Duanne Olivier and Jonny Tattersall have all put pen to paper on new deals.

Brook has signed until at least 2024, along with bowler Fisher, while Coad, Fraine and Tattersall will remain at Headingley until 2023 at the earliest.

Olivier and Loten have signed deals until 2022.

“He has definitely matured as both a player and person in the last few years and I think last season we saw a development,” Moxon said of Brook.

“He’s had a really good winters work and hopefully this season can be the real breakthrough season for him.”

Seam bowler Coad has taken 157 first-class wickets already and said of his new deal: “I’m very excited to see what this group of players can achieve in the next few years and it’s going to be great to be a part of it.”

Meanwhile Fisher, who made his debut for Yorkshire as a 15-year-old, has set his sights on silverware after committing his future to the White Rose.

“I feel our squad is really strong and I want to contribute as much as I can to winning games, which in turn can lead to winning trophies,” he said.

“It’s always been an honour playing for Yorkshire and I’m so glad that I can do so for another few years at least.”

South African quick bowler Duanne Olivier has signed on again as one of Yorkshire’s overseas players and will remain at Headingley until at least October next year.

Moxon said: “Duanne made a big decision to come over here and we wanted to reward his commitment to us with another year on his contract now. I think we have still got the best to see from him.

“He gives us pace and he’s shown, particularly in his first season, his capabilities. I think the more that he plays over here, the better he is going to get. We wanted to show our faith in him and hopefully it will give him peace of mind that we are backing him.”
