The 26-year-old said: "I'm extremely pleased to have extended my time with Sussex. Sussex is my home club where I have grown up and I'm very proud to represent my home county.
"We have a lot of work to do over the next two years and beyond to get back to winning ways, but I'm confident we're capable of doing so."`
Sussex's director of cricket Keith Greenfield added: "Luke has had an outstanding season for the club. It's great that he has agreed to extend his contract, as he has turned himself into a key, senior player."
