Jack Taylor: Gloucestershire all-rounder signs new deal until 2026

Jack Taylor has scored 7,539 career runs

Veteran Gloucestershire all-rounder Jack Taylor has signed a contract extension at the club.

The 32-year-old - brother of seamer and team-mate Matt Taylor - made his debut for the Shire in 2010 and has made 294 appearances across all formats.

His new deal runs until the end of the 2026 season.

Taylor told the club website: "My deep-rooted connection to this club fuels my ambition for success and I'm committed to help bring silverware back home."

The leg-spinner and middle-order batter was man of the match in Gloucestershire's 2015 One-Day Cup final win over Surrey at Lord's, cracking 35 off 26 balls and taking 4-43 with the ball.

Taylor said: "I am thrilled to stay with the club for the next three seasons. While our victory in 2015 was an unforgettable moment for me, it has been far too long since then."

The Gloucestershire academy product smashed a 52-ball century in August as his side beat Sussex in the 50-over competition, setting a club record for the fastest List A hundred.

Taylor has scored seven centuries across 91 first-class games, with 126 T20 appearances and 77 more in List A cricket.

Will Brown, Gloucestershire's chief executive, said: "Jack is a model professional and is someone a lot of the younger members of the squad really look up to, so I'm delighted to see him commit his future to Gloucestershire."
