Durham batter Clark extends deal for 'best years of career'

Graham Clark has scored over 8,000 runs for Durham across all formats of the game

Durham batter Graham Clark has signed a new new two-year deal.

The 32-year-old has made 254 appearances for the county since making his debut in 2015.

He is enjoying an excellent season and scored back-to-back County Championship centuries against Hampshire and Nottinghamshire in May, with a career-best 160 against Hants.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be committing my future to the club, I've been here since I joined the academy 16 years ago and I couldn't imagine playing my cricket anywhere else," Clark told the club website.

"I feel like I'm now entering the best years of my career, and I hope I can contribute to success in both the red ball and white ball teams."
