Finlay Bean leads eight new contracts for Yorkshire: "There is still growth for all of them"

Ben Cliff, Finlay Bean, Harry Duke, Jafer Chohan, James Wharton, Matty Revis, Yash Vagadia and Will Luxton have all committed their future to the Headingley club

Yorkshire have invested in the future by nailing down the future of eight young players to fresh contract extensions. 

Ben Cliff, Finlay Bean, Harry Duke, Jafer Chohan, James Wharton, Matty Revis, Yash Vagadia and Will Luxton have all committed their future to the Headingley club. 

The group have shown their faith in the rebuilding operation being implemented by head coach Ottis Gibson and managing director Darren Gough following a tumultuous last few years. 

Revis has signed a three-year contract extension, Cliff and impressive batter Bean have signed two-year contracts, as have Chohan, Wharton and Luxton. 

Bean is perhaps the most notable retention following his three County Championship hundreds in 2023.

Meanwhile, Duke has signed a one-year extension and Vagadia extended his first contract by 12 months too. 

"I'm delighted that we have secured these eight contract renewals this year," Gough said. 

"They are all players that we want to keep and have our faith in and what's great to see is there are a lot of young players in these renewals – so I'm over the moon.

"The club is very excited about the prospects we have with these talented young players – there is still growth for all of them, but they've shown potential and talent when they've played and that's what gives us drive and optimism going forward.

"It's fantastic to have this young group of players who can learn from and develop alongside our more experienced players in the side. We can now start to build a squad that will take us forward and have some continuity in selection – that's what we are aiming for."
