Chris Jordan signs new one-year deal at Sussex

Sussex seamer Chris Jordan has signed a new one-year deal which will keep him at Hove until the end of the 2017 campaign.

Jordan, 27, arrived on the south coast from Surrey in 2013 and has since taken 110 wickets in 27 Championship games for Sussex, recording his best first-class figures of 6-48 on debut against Yorkshire at Headingley.

His form has seen him break into the England side, making his debut against Sri Lanka and winning eight Test caps as well as playing 27 ODIs and 11 T20 internationals.

"I'm absolutely thrilled to be extending my contract to stay longer at a club that I have grown to love and one that now feels like home," he said.

"I'm looking forward to putting in my best performances on the pitch, helping Sussex back into Division One and back to winning trophies."

Sussex's Head Coach Mark Davis said, "CJ is a vital member of our team and balances us in all formats of the game. His all-round ability as a fast bowler, destructive batsman and brilliant catcher makes him a key member of our team at Sussex.

"I'm thrilled he has extended his contract and look forward to him making vital contributions to winning games for the club."
