Northamptonshire red-ball captain Luke Procter has signed a new two-year contract with the club.
Procter’s contract was up at the end of the season but the batsman will now stay with Northamptonshire until at least the end of 2026.
“I’m delighted to sign a new deal with Northamptonshire. Since I first arrived at the club in 2017, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I’m pleased to be staying for another two years,” Procter said.
“I’ve been hugely proud to lead the team in the County Championship for the past two seasons and feel like I have developed as both a player and a person since taking on that challenge.”
During his seven years at the club, Procter has provided crucial performances in the Northamptonshire side, and this year has been no different.
With 898 runs and 21 wickets in the 2024 Vitality County Championship, the all-rounder is currently Northamptonshire’s second-top run scorer and third-highest wicket-taker in the competition this year.
Procter is delighted with the squad currently and is excited about next season with the potential of the group still set to shine through.
“We’ve got a fantastic group of lads in the dressing room who are willing to fight hard for each other and the hard work starts now to prepare for 2025 which we all hope will be an exciting season for us.”
Chief executive Ray Payne is delighted that Procter has extended his stay at The County Ground for two more years.
Payne said: “We’re so pleased that Luke has put pen to paper on a new contract here at Northamptonshire.
“Luke has led the red-ball team superbly over the last two years and is a shining example of professionalism and commitment to the other members of the squad.
“He is a vital part of the Northamptonshire CCC family and we’re looking forward to seeing how the red-ball side will develop under his leadership in 2025.”
