Josh Bohannon and Rob Jones sign new contract extensions with Lancashire

The pair have put pen to paper on two-year extensions which will keep them at Old Trafford until 2020, as the county look to bounce back from relegation to Division Two during the 2018 season

Josh Bohannon and Rob Jones have both agreed and signed two-year contract extensions which will keep them at Lancashire until at least the end of the 2020 season.

Allrounder Bohannon made his debut for the Red Rose in all three formats during the 2018 season and impressed with the bat, scoring half-centuries against Surrey and Worcestershire.

The 21-year-old said: "I am delighted to sign a new contract with my home county.

“To make my debut in all three formats this summer was really special for me. It means so much to me playing for the county I’ve grown up watching and supporting and now it's about building on that and trying to cement my place in the side next year.

“After speaking with Glen and the coaching team, there's an opportunity for me to try and take the role that Jordan Clark has done so well in recent years – a fourth seamer and batting at six or seven – and I’m determined to make that position my own.”

Jones made his debut for Lancashire in 2016 and played in five first-class matches for the county in 2018 as they were relegated to Division Two.

Jones remarked: "It’s a great feeling to secure my future at Emirates Old Trafford with Lancashire.

“I absolutely love pulling on the Red Rose jersey and representing this Club. The next step for me now is to establish myself in the side and help the Club secure promotion at the first time of asking next season.”

“We have some really talented players in the squad and we all want to be pushing for silverware. It’s an exciting time to be part of this side.”
