England all-rounder Luke Wright has signed a three-year extension to his contract with Sussex which keeps him at Hove until 2018.
Wright, 29, has already been awarded a benefit year in 2015 following a fine season in county cricket.
He scored 933 runs in the County Championship at an average of 51.83, and 601 in the T20 Blast competition, including a brilliant 153 off 66 balls against Essex.
He told the county’s website: “I'm delighted to have signed for the next four years at Sussex. I absolutely love this club.
“I was really proud of my performance last year but it is only really satisfying when that contributes to winning trophies. I truly believe we will over the next four years.”
Sussex’s Professional Cricket Manager Mark Robinson said: “Luke has been in outstanding form for a period of time now. He has long been seen as one of the leading one-day and T20 players in the world but he has really come into his own in red-ball cricket in recent times as he matures into a more complete player.
“So for him to commit himself for the next four years is great news for all concerned as we look forward to next season.”
