Seamer Rob Lord has signed a new two-year contract at Trent Bridge.
The 23-year-old has made a significant impact in his initial stint at Nottinghamshire, having signed a short-term contract prior to the Metro Bank One Day Cup.
He took 11 wickets at 22.63 in that competition, before claiming four more in County Championship fixtures against Surrey and Essex.
“I’m obviously delighted to extend my time here,” Lord said.
“It’s been a great, supportive group to come into over the last few months, and I have learned a lot about myself through the work I’ve done with the coaches and exposure to first team cricket.
“I want to keep refining my skills as much as possible through training and playing, and focus on being the best all-round player I can be.
“I’m keen to finish this season as well as I can, and then work hard on my game through the winter.”
Lord’s best figures to date in a Notts shirt came against Surrey in the 50-over tournament, where he took five wickets to guide the Outlaws to a 107-run win.
After claiming Dom Sibley as his maiden First-Class scalp, he then dismissed both Dean Elgar and Tom Westley in his second red-ball appearance at Chelmsford.
“We’ve been really excited watching Rob as a young bowler taking his opportunity over the past few months,” Peter Moores said.
“We were initially impressed by his attitude and attributes when he was playing with our Second XI - he has the ability to bowl with pace but also discipline.
“He has met and embraced every challenge he’s been faced with, from initially joining the club to playing List A and First-Class cricket.
“We’re looking forward to seeing where he can take his game in the coming months and years by dedicating his time to cricket with us.”
