Lancashire all-rounder Rocky Flintoff has signed a two-year contract extension keeping him with the county until 2027.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old son of former Lancashire and England all-rounder Freddie Flintoff joins fellow Lancashire academy graduates Tom Aspinwall, 21, and Charlie Barnard, 21, in agreeing deals.<\/p>\n
Flintoff made his List A debut for Lancashire in the One-Day Cup in July 2024, becoming the club’s youngest-ever player at 16 years and 113 days old. <\/p>\n
He has since featured in five County Championship matches and scored 180 runs in List A cricket.<\/p>\n
The Manchester Grammar schoolboy became the youngest England Under-19s centurion, beating Ian Bell’s 25-year-old record. <\/p>\n
He followed that by becoming the youngest England Lions centurion against Cricket Australia in January 2025, beating his father’s record.<\/p>\n
Red Rose director of cricket performance, Mark Chilton, said: “We are really pleased to secure the futures of Tom, Charlie and Rocky \u2013 underlining the club’s continued commitment to investing in, and developing, our own homegrown talent.<\/p>\n
“All three players are of extremely high potential and have progressed through our pathway system to make an impression at first-team level. Their continued development is central to our future plans.<\/p>\n
“We look forward to supporting Tom, Charlie and Rocky as they continue to push their careers forward with Lancashire Cricket.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lancashire all-rounder Rocky Flintoff has signed a two-year contract extension keeping him with the county until 2027.
