"I'm really pleased to have extended my contract, it was only really at the end of a tough season we showed how good we can be as a team and I'm fully focused on trying to help the team get promoted back to Division One next season where I feel we belong," said White, who is spending the winter playing cricket in New Zealand.

"The fans have always supported me here and I really hope myself and the team can give them some success in 2024."

Head coach, John Sadler, added: "He's someone who has had to do it the hard way, he got noticed in the leagues, and came into the professional game at a later stage of his development.

"Through hard work and dedication to his craft, he has become one of the leading seam bowlers in the country.

"His journey is a real success story and the thought of him and Ben Sanderson opening the bowling together next season is an extremely exciting prospect."
