Gloucestershire batter Miles Hammond has signed a one-year extension to stay with the club through the 2025 season.

Hammond has scored 692 runs in the County Championship and 392 in the T20 Blast this season.

The 28-year-old academy product is also their top run scorer in List A matches through 2024 with 354 runs, including a career-best 157 against Nottinghamshire.

“This year has been a really positive one not only for me personally but us as a team, and I’m really excited by how we continue to grow as a unit,” Hammond said.

Head coach Mark Alleyne said Hammond was one of the club’s “leading players”.

“Miles is very often the catalyst to some good batting displays but his contribution in the field stands alone with some stunning outfield catches and energetic ground fielding,” Alleyne added.

“As Miles approaches the peak of his playing career, it’s great we get to benefit from such a character around the group for at least another year.”
