Fast bowler Jack Brooks has signed a new contract with Yorkshire which will keep him at the county champions until December 2017.

Brooks, 30, was his side's leading wicket-taker in Championship cricket last year, taking 68 wickets at 28, earning him a call-up to the England Lions squad for the tour of South Africa. 

Brooks, who joined the county from Northamptonshire in 2012 is thrilled with his new deal.

"I am thrilled to have signed a new contract with Yorkshire," he told the club's website.

"I am enjoying my cricket and have had a brilliant 18 months with the club.

"There is a great vibe around the place and I am confident with the quality of players we have here, we can continue to be a force in the game.
