The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to confirm that Will Luxton has signed a new two-year contract extension, committing him to the Club until at least the end of 2027.
The 22-year-old Keighley native – a product of the Yorkshire academy – had his breakthrough year in 2024, and has continued to contribute in all formats this year.
The right-hander starred against Lancashire in the Vitality Blast, hitting 90* from just 46 balls and recorded his highest first-class score against Surrey at Scarborough a fortnight ago.
He now stands as one of the brightest young prospects in the country.
Luxton said he was delighted to commit to Yorkshire.
“I’m really happy to have signed for another two years. We’ve played some positive cricket this year and there is a real energy and direction that Mags (Anthony McGrath) has instilled in us.
“To be a part of this group, which has a young core to it and that is building something special is also hugely motivating for me.
“I feel like my game has grown, too, over the last 18 months. I’m excited to keep scoring runs and play my part going forward.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket at Yorkshire said, “Will is a very talented cricketer and has evolved this year into a dependable young batter with a high ceiling.
“He’s stood up in numerous games so far this season, showing an exceptional temperament. His contract extension is a reflection in the faith we have in Will and his long-term potential,
“We’re absolutely delighted that he has signed and we’re looking forward to seeing how much further he will develop.”
