Allrounder Ben Martindale has signed a one-year contract with Nottinghamshire.
The 19-year-old, who came through the club's academy, made his first-team debut in 2022, featuring against Gloucestershire in the Royal London Cup.
He also featured regularly for the 2nd XI last season, scoring 588 runs at 32.66 (three half-centuries) in 11 Championship outings and a further 18 runs and five wickets in six T20 matches.
Martindale is the latest in a flurry of young players to commit their future to Trent Bridge, with Sammy King, Tom Loten (signed from Yorkshire) and Dane Schadendorf signing contracts with the club.
Commenting on signing professional terms, Martindale said: "To have made my professional debut this year was a special moment, and one that I hope I can replicate in 2023 by working hard over the winter and producing performances when the season comes around again.

"I've had to bide my time getting those opportunities, and that made me being in and around the Royal London Cup squad this summer all the more exciting.
"I tried to learn as much as I could in that environment, and to also make the most of chances in the seconds, to prove to myself that I could do it at professional level.
"I definitely grew over the course of the year, and I'm looking forward to seeing where my game can get to over the next 12 months."
Head coach, Peter Moores, added: "Credit to Ben as he's earned his contract through some outstanding performances in the 2nd XI. His best innings have come against the stronger attacks, containing several regular first team bowlers, showing he already has the ability to step up to a higher level in the game.
"Ben should take real confidence from this and the challenge now will be to make those performances more consistent, which will be a focus of his work this winter.
"His bowling should also not to be underestimated and I know Kevin Shine is looking forward to the opportunity to spend some meaningful time with him over the coming months.
"Credit to Matt Wood and his coaches for producing another exciting cricketer from our academy and we’re all looking forward to seeing how far he can progress in the coming years."
