England paceman Jofra Archer has signed a one-year contract extension with Sussex, extending his stay at Hove to 12 seasons.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 31-year-old made his debut for the county in 2016 and has taken 223 first-class wickets at an average of 25.17.<\/p>\n
Following numerous injuries, Archer missed four years of red-ball cricket before returning for Sussex in June 2025. <\/p>\n
He then played his first Test since 2021 when he was named in the England team to face India in July 2025.<\/p>\n
Archer was fit for the 2025-2026 Ashes tour to Australia, taking nine wickets before picking up a side-strain in the third Test in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
He recovered to take 23 wickets in five Test matches against New Zealand and Pakistan this summer.<\/p>\n
“I have always felt at home at Sussex since making my first-class debut in 2016, and it was an easy decision to stay here for a further year,” Archer told the club website.<\/p>\n
Incoming Sussex head coach Matt Walker added: “He is a world-class fast bowler who brings something truly special to our club.<\/p>\n
“Retaining a player of his calibre is hugely important to us as we look to build a successful team across all formats.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
