Leicestershire head coach Paul Nixon said: "Tom is a real talent with a big future in the game. We rate Tom very highly, as he also adds value with the bat and in the field too.

"It is vital to have strength in depth and competition for places in the seam department, an area we have thrived in under [head bowling coach] Matt Mason.

"We have Chris Wright coming in from Warwickshire at the end of the season, and having Tom sign a new contract with us is also great news."
