Yorkshire batter Luxton signs new deal until 2027
Yorkshire batter Will Luxton has signed a contract extension to remain with the club until the end of the 2027 season. 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. He enjoyed a breakout year in 2024, playing a leading role in all formats. "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. "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." 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. "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. "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. "We're absolutely delighted that he has signed and we're looking forward to seeing how much further he will develop."
