Batsman Adam Lyth extends Yorkshire contract

Adam Lyth extends his contract with County Championship winners Yorkshire by a further three years.

Opening batsman Adam Lyth has committed his future to Yorkshire by signing a new three-year contract at Headingley.

The left-hander, who is currently on tour with the England Lions in South Africa, scored 1,489 runs to help Yorkshire win the County Championship title last season.

Having signed on until the summer of 2018, the 27-year-old has now turned his attention to winning more trophies.

"I am delighted to be committing my long-term future to Yorkshire. It has been an incredible year for me and I just want to keep on improving," he told the club's official website.

"To play for this club is very special and to contribute to our recent success is why we play. I dream of winning trophies for Yorkshire and after winning the Championship, I firmly believe this will be first of many."

Earlier today, Yorkshire also announced the signings of Australian duo Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell.
