"I've massively enjoyed this season working with the squad and under Farby and truly believe we can push forward over the next few seasons to achieve a lot of success as a group."

Head coach, Paul Farbrace, added: "I'm delighted that Jack has continued his excellent progression here at Hove, and I am excited by the potential he has in his all-round game.

"We are all really pleased he has committed his next stage of his development to working with us all at Sussex, and in turn helping the club to progress as well.

"Jack has a fantastic attitude to go with his high level of skill and is a natural leader in our team."
