Ollie Price has signed a two-year contract extension at Gloucestershire which will keep him at the club until at least the end of the 2025 season.

The 21-year-old, who made his debut against Middlesex in July 2021, has scored 753 runs and taken five wickets in 23 first-team appearances for Gloucestershire.

Last season, he scored just shy of 400 runs in eight County Championship outings, including back-to-back half-centuries against Somerset in September.

The allrounder scored a further 213 runs in the Royal London Cup. His best performance came against Surrey when he scored 45 runs and picked up two wickets as Gloucestershire recorded a two-wicket win.

Price said: "I'm delighted to be staying in Bristol for the next few years and am so excited for the summers to come.

"I absolutely love playing for Glos, the club has supported me so much and I'm very proud to represent Gloucestershire.

"I'm really excited for what the future holds; we've got a great squad and coaching set-up, and I feel priveliged to be a part of this great club. I can't wait to make more contributions in a Glos shirt for years to come and I'm excited to see what we can achieve as a team."

Dale Benkenstein, head coach at Gloucestershire, added: "Ollie is one of our young players that we really value and we've seen some real potential in his knocks with the bat.

“His off-spin and fielding add two more strings to his bow and he's someone that we are looking to develop over the next few years to become a regular in all formats."
