England international Chris Jordan has signed a one-year extension to his contract at Sussex which keeps him at Hove until the end of the 2018 season.

The fast bowling all-rounder had his best season to date in 2016, becoming an England regular in white-ball cricket.

He joined Sussex four years ago from Surrey where regular injuries prevented him from having a long spell in the first team.

In T20 cricket this year he returned career-best figures at both international (4-28) level and domestically (4-11).

Last summer he also scored his maiden first-class century against Essex and posted career-best scores in the NatWest T20 Blast (45no) and Royal London One-Day Cup (55).

Jordan said: "I always like to take the positives but by my own standards I would have liked to be slightly better at different times throughout last summer.
