Essex batsman Jaik Mickleburgh has signed a new 12-month contract to keep him with the county until the end of next season.

Mickleburgh failed to secure a regular place in Essex's first-team this year, playing only in the County Championship where he scored 398 runs in 10 Division Two matches at an average of 22.11.

"I am delighted to have signed a contract extension at Essex," he said. "The club is a huge part of my life and I'm proud to be playing for this team."
