Goldsworthy, 23, joined the Somerset academy in 2016 and made his debut for the first XI in 2020.

Since making his debut, Lewis has featured in 81 matches for Somerset across the three formats, scoring more than 2700 runs and claiming 50 wickets.

In 2021, he made his first class and List ‘A’ debuts and was named Somerset's young player of the season.

Speaking after signing the extension, external, Lewis said: “I’m delighted to be committing to Somerset.

"I love playing in front of this crowd and the club is heading in a really good direction.

"I’m from Cornwall, and to play for the club that I supported when I was growing up is really special.

"To be able to do that for at least another two years is something that I’m very proud of.

“The personal goal in that time is to nail down a spot in the first teams and for the club it’s to win as many trophies as we can because we have the quality to compete in all formats.”
