Northamptonshire all-rounder Calvin Harrison has signed a contract extension that will see him remain at the county until 2029.

The 28-year-old, who is in his first full season at Northants, has scored 477 runs batting at three in this season's County Championship Division Two.

Harrison has also taken 18 wickets in the Steelbacks' T20 Blast campaign, with the Wantage Road side set to face Gloucestershire in Wednesday's quarter-finals.

"I'm really happy to be extending my time here at Northamptonshire." Harrison said. "It's a brilliant dressing room with a top-class spirit."

Northants' head coach Darren Lehmann said: "He [Harrison] is a leader in the group and a player that continues to strive for excellence on and off the field.

"It's another important signing for us moving forward as we develop our squad for the future."
