Australian seamer Steve Magoffin will be staying with Sussex for another two years after a superb 2014 campaign.
The 34-year-old led the LV= County Championship Division One wicket-taking table with 72 victims at a cost of just 19.51 and has now signed a new two-year contract.
It was the third time in as many seasons at Hove that Magoffin has been the most successful bowler and he has taken 192 Championship wickets during that span.
"I'm really pleased to sign on for another couple of years,” said Magoffin.
“I've been here for three seasons now and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I feel I'm playing really good cricket here at Sussex.
"It's been an incredible year for me personally, to do so well in the Championship and contribute to the team.
“The team is heading in the right direction and, if I can go close to replicating some of those efforts from the past couple of years, then hopefully we can move up that ladder a bit further."
Sussex captain Ed Joyce said: "Steve has been the best seamer in Division One for the last couple of seasons and we're blessed to have got his signature for another couple of years.
“He's a pleasure to captain and has grown into being an impressive leader for both the younger bowlers in the squad, and the rest of the team in general."
