Luke Wood has signed a new deal with Nottinghamshire that keeps him at Trent Bridge until 2018.
Wood, 20, took 30 first-class wickets at an average of 30 in what was his breakthrough season at the club, and memorably hit a brilliant century off 96 balls batting at No 9 against Sussex.
"It's nice to get that security of three more years playing for my home county," the left-arm swing bowler told the club's website.
"I've averaged 30 with the bat and ball in 2015, scored a century, scored 400 runs and finished with 30 wickets. For my first year as a professional, I've got to be happy with that.
"Hopefully I can build on what I've done this season and push myself into contention for all formats of the game."
Director of cricket Mick Newell said: "Luke is a talented young cricketer who earned his run in the first team on merit and did himself proud with some good performances.
"The century he scored against Sussex was a remarkable innings which showed us how dangerous a player he can be with the bat, and that's something we'll continue to work on.
"Bowling remains his number one role and the way he performed this season was very encouraging."
