It’s hardly a rumour at this stage, it’s pretty much the worst kept secret in cricket. But Leicestershire were throwing money at keepers this year. Apparently £100k a year on 3 year deals they offered Burgess, Jordan Cox, and Bracey. All 3 turned them down to stay where they were or move elsewhere. And they eventually settled for Ben Cox.
So it’s interesting he turned down a 3 year deal there, to sign one for the Bears. Fingers crossed this is more of a we’ll kick it down the road and sort something longer next year.

If I remember correctly some of our other players have also signed one year extensions this season? Can’t remember who though

Can't recall any 1 year extensions this year but to echo what has been said previously we have indeed got quite a few senior players out of contract end of 2024.

And we're never very good with contracts, every 2 or 3 seasons we seem to have good players going into the remaining 12 months of their deal whilst we give out long term security to fringe players. Craig Miles signed a 3 year deal back in October, nice lad and all, willing trier, but he did well to get that.

Just checked my emails - Rhodes signed a new contract in January this year to take him until the end of 2024, so I assume this was a one year extension.

An excellent day for the all rounder today. A tidy spell of seam up and then an excellent steering of a chase all while giving his gloves a day off

Done well since his contract extension.

Signed a contract extension till end of 2025.

Good news.

This is very good. Keeping hold of key performers like Burgess and OHD is crucial.
Didn’t they only extend him less than 6 months ago anyway? Seems odd.
