Jack Carson signs three-year contract extension

Sussex Cricket is delighted to announce that Jack Carson has signed a three-year contract extension with the Club.

The 22-year-old off-spinner came through the Sussex Academy and has gone on to represent the Club 30 times in first-class fixtures.

In his 30 appearances Carson has taken 83 wickets at an average of 37.13, cementing himself as the first-choice spinner within the team.

He has also made 816 runs, including six half-centuries, including two this season in the same game against Worcestershire.

Alongside Sussex opener, Tom Haines, Carson was part of the England Lions tour of Sri Lanka where he took 9 wickets in two first-class matches.

Speaking on the extension, Jack Carson said: “I am really pleased to extend my contract here at Sussex. It's been home away from home for me and my family since my first game in the under 12's.

"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.”

Sussex 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.”

The promotion hunt continues
