Seamer Sean Hunt has signed a two-year contract extension with Sussex.

The 22-year-old's new deal runs until the end of the 2026 season.

The left-armer, who came through the Surrey academy system, has taken 45 wickets in 19 first-class matches since signing for Sussex in 2021.

"Sean was one of our real breakthroughs last summer. He grew in confidence and started to show the quality that he has," Sussex head coach Paul Farbrace told the club website.

"He is a fantastic team man, really popular with everyone at the club, and a player we all want to succeed.

"The whole coaching and support staff are rightly very proud of Sean and all have really high hopes for his continued development and progress."
