Northamptonshire County Cricket Club are thrilled to announce that Head Coach Darren Lehmann has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the Club until at least the end of the 2027 season.
Lehmann originally signed a deal to the end of the 2026 season but has now taken up the option to stay for another year.
“I’ve absolutely loved my time so far and I’m really excited to have committed for an extra year.” Lehmann said.
“The Club, fans and the sponsors have all been fantastic to me, so I had no problem agreeing to another year.
“The support has been unbelievable. We’ve been good in patches and not so good in others, but they’re always behind us which I love.”
Since arriving in the UK in February, Lehmann has instilled high standards on and off the field within the playing group and staff, with everyone around the Club striving for success.
On the field, Lehmann has helped guide the Steelbacks to another quarter-final in the Vitality Blast, where the Club will face Surrey on Wednesday 3rd September.
Northamptonshire CEO Ray Payne was thrilled to extend the stay of Lehmann.
“Darren has had an exceptional impact at Northamptonshire from the moment he arrived.
“He’s brought a really positive culture to the Club, with players and staff all working as hard as they can to be a team that Northamptonshire fans can be proud of.
“We’re so pleased that he’s committed until at least the end of 2027, and that he believes in the direction we’re heading in.”
