Steven Finn has committed his future to Middlesex by signing a new multi-year contract with the county.
Finn, 28, made his First-Class debut for Middlesex in June 2005 at the age of 16. He has since gone on to take 458 wickets in all three forms of the game and is the county's longest serving current player.
He's also Middlesex's most prolific England bowler with 254 wickets in all forms of the game, 125 of those in Tests.
"I'm delighted to have signed a contract extension with the club I have represented my whole career." said Finn.
"The club has come a long way since I first played for it and I feel we are still developing, and that is something I am excited about being a part of.
"I am optimistic about our chances in all three formats moving forward and want to help win more trophies for this great club."
Finn's best performance for Middlesex to date came in a Championship match at Worcestershire in April 2010. He took 14 wickets, including career-best figures of 9 for 37 in the second innings.
Middlesex Director of Cricket Angus Fraser said: "Steven remains an outstanding cricketer, the sort of player and person we want at Middlesex Cricket.
"Even though it seems as though he has been around for decades Steven is still only 28 and, potentially, has his best years ahead of him.
"The club continues to be extremely proud of what he achieves so, despite speculation, it was unimaginable to me that he would leave the club to play for another county.
"Steven has never expressed a desire to play for anyone other than Middlesex and I would like to see him finish his career with the club and to be remembered as one of our greatest cricketers. He has much to offer."
