Brooke Guest has signed a two-year contract extension with Derbyshire, ensuring his presence at the club until at least the end of the 2025 season. 

The 25-year-old wicketkeeper-batter enjoyed a breakout 2022 season, scoring over 1,000 runs across all formats.

A standout performer in the LV= Insurance County Championship, only Keaton Jennings, Cheteshwar Pujara and Tom Abell (five apiece) scored more centuries than Guest (four).

Having made his debut for the club in 2020, Guest has been consistently in the starting XI, scoring 2,177 runs across all formats.

His work behind the stumps has been equally impressive, taking 115 catches and nine stumpings since joining the club.

Head coach Mickey Arthur said: "Brooke is a key member of our squad and it's brilliant to have him with us until at least 2025. His development over the last year has been impressive, both with the bat and the gloves.

"Brooke is one of the first to training and the last to leave, that's the kind of dedication we need as we target silverware for Derbyshire."

Guest added: "In the last year, I feel like I've taken my game to another level and I want to keep that progression going with Derbyshire.

"As a squad, we've improved a lot already under our world-class coaching setup and the ambition is to target trophies. As a player, that's what you always want to be doing and we're all pulling in the same direction, to bring success to our supporters."
