Fynn Hudson-Prentice has signed a two-year contract extension with Sussex which will keep him at Hove until at least 2026.

The 27-year-old allrounder, who came through the Sussex academy, returned to the club at the back end of the 2021 season after spending three years at Derbyshire.

Last season, he helped Sussex finish third in Division Two, scoring a team-leading 879 runs at 48.83, including nine half-centuries, and taking 20 wickets in 14 appearances.

He made six appearances in the One-Day Cup, scoring 190 runs and taking eight wickets, while in the T20 Blast, he scored 104 runs and took three wickets.

Hudson-Prentice said: "I am delighted to have signed an extension with my boyhood club. I'm really enjoying working with Paul Farbrace and I am excited for what the future holds with the group of players we have here."

"He epitomises everything we are trying to create on and off the field," added head coach, Paul Farbrace.

"He is one of the most dedicated players I have had the pleasure of working with. He works extremely hard to give himself the best chance of success on the field.

"Fynn had an excellent all-round season this year, and we all look forward to his continued development as a player. He is a genuine three in one player, and is continually looking to improve his skills."
