Thursday 22 October 2015 16:28, UK
Opening batsman Nick Gubbins has signed a contract extension with Middlesex that ties him to the county until 2018.
The left-hander made appearances in all formats last season - one that was cut back by injury - eventually playing in 19 matches, with his most impressive performances coming in the Royal London One-Day Cup.
He finished as the club's second highest run-scorer in the 50-over competition, with 339 runs at an average of 56.50, and made his maiden hundred against Sussex, when scoring 141 at Hove.
Middlesex's managing director of cricket Angus Fraser said: "I am delighted Nick has signed a new deal with Middlesex CCC.
"His performances in 2015 merit the extension and, but for an unfortunate injury, he would have played a near full season of county cricket. During 2015 Nick showed the ability to thrive in all forms of the game.
"We believe Nick is an exciting talent and we know he has an excellent work ethic. The two qualities give him a great chance of having a long and distinguished career in cricket."
Gubbins said: "I am delighted to have extended my contract with Middlesex for a further three years. Having represented the club since I was 14 years old it's a dream come true to play at Lords and call it home.
"I'm loving my time here and look forward to helping the club win lots of trophies in the year to come. We have a fantastic squad here and it's great to be part of it."
