Northamptonshire batsman Rob Newton has committed his future to the Northants after signing a new two-year deal that promises to keep him at Wantage Road until 2020.
Newton, 29, who made his County Championship debut for Northants in 2010, is now contracted until the end of the 2020 season.
He is the third player to sign a new deal this winter, following in the footsteps of Alex Wakely and Nathan Buck.
“Rob is a talented player who has been at the County Ground a long time. It is easy to forget that he is still under 30,” said head coach David Ripley.
“He has a lot of cricket still ahead of him in his career. He’s both settled and ambitious, which is a good combination to have, and we’re really happy that he has signed a new contract with us.”
Newton has notched 5,161 first-class runs at an average of 36.60, including 23 fifties and 13 centuries.
