England paceman Harry Gurney has signed a two-year contract extension with Nottinghamshire.
The 30-year-old, who joined his home county from Leicestershire in 2012, took 81 wickets in all competitions for Notts in 2016.
His current contract was due to expire at the end of next season, but he is now committed to the club until the end of the 2019 campaign.
Gurney, who has played 10 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 internationals for England, has claimed 306 wickets in his five years at Trent Bridge.

"Harry has taken massive strides during his time with us and he's developed into one of the most senior players at the club," said Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell.
"He bowls in pressure situations, particularly with the white ball, and does it very well - and in four-day cricket he has the knack of getting wickets in clusters.
"At a time when we have a number of promising young seamers around the club, he sets a great example and will now continue to do that for at least the next three years."
