Yorkshire batter Will Luxton has signed a contract extension to remain with the club until the end of the 2027 season.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old came through Yorkshire’s academy and made his debut in 2022, a season where he featured for England in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup final.<\/p>\n

He enjoyed a breakout year in 2024, playing a leading role in all formats.<\/p>\n

“We’ve played some positive cricket this year and there is a real energy and direction that Mags (Anthony McGrath) has instilled in us,” Luxton said., external<\/a><\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Luxton had an impressive showing for the White Rose in July, hitting an unbeaten 90 from just 46 balls against Lancashire in the Vitality Blast.<\/p>\n

“Will is a very talented cricketer and has evolved this year into a dependable young batter with a high ceiling,” said general manager of cricket Gavin Hamilton.<\/p>\n

“He’s stood up in numerous games so far this season, showing an exceptional temperament. His contract extension is a reflection of the faith we have in Will and his long-term potential.<\/p>\n

“We’re absolutely delighted that he has signed and we’re looking forward to seeing how much further he will develop.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yorkshire batter Will Luxton has signed a contract extension to remain with the club until the end of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-46403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
