All-rounder James signs new three-year Notts deal

Lyndon James is a Nottinghamshire local, born in Worksop

Nottinghamshire all-rounder Lyndon James has signed a new three-year contract that keeps him at Trent Bridge until the end of the 2027 season.

The 26-year-old's deal extension comes just days after he scored a century in Notts' season-opening County Championship victory against Durham.

It was his fifth first-class ton for Notts since coming through the club's academy to make his debut in 2018.

The seam bowler has made more than 100 appearances for Nottinghamshire across all formats since then, taking 115 wickets and scoring 3,500 runs.

"He's locally born and bred, which always adds that extra level of pride, and we're extremely proud of how he's developed in his career so far," Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores told the club website.

"You only have to look at his innings just this week against Durham for the latest example of how much of a key member of our squad he's become."
