Liam Patterson-White has signed a four-year contract extension with Nottinghamshire which will keep him at Trent Bridge until at least the end of 2026.

The 24-year-old spin-bowling allrounder made his first-team debut in 2019 and has gone on to feature 48 times across the LV= Insurance County Championship and Royal London Cup.

In first-class cricket, he has scored 1,008 runs at 25.84 and picked up 85 wickets at 27.23 in 33 appearances and played an integral role in Nottinghamshire's Division Two title win last season, taking 41 wickets at 27.95.

Across both divisions, only Simon Harmer and Zafar Gohar took more wickets among spinners and his performances have seen him rewarded with a spot in this winter's England Lions squad. He previously featured for the Lions against South Africa in August. 

In 15 List A outings, he has scored 192 runs and taken 24 wickets.

Commenting on committing his future to the club, he said: "Playing for Nottinghamshire means everything to me. I've followed the club for my entire life and – having first represented the county aged ten – to have played a role in getting us back to the top division in red-ball cricket this year is something I'm very proud of.

"I still get 'pinch me' moments walking out at Trent Bridge alongside guys who have also come through the pathway, as well as international cricketers and those who have made a name here through prolonged success. It's a special place, and I feel very privileged to play here.

"On the white-ball front, I have worked hard to develop my game, and that's starting to come to fruition in the 50-over format, which is pleasing. I definitely harbour ambitions to play T20 cricket for the Outlaws, so hopefully I can realise that over the course of this contract as well.

"Obviously, earning my first Lions call-up this summer was special too, and I'll continue to put in the hard yards to gain further honours for my country."

Head coach, Peter Moores, added: "It's always special when a player from your own pathway puts in the kind of performances Liam has done over the past two summers.

"We've been aware of his all-round capabilities for some time, and to see them come to fruition on the field has been great to witness.

"He's taken on responsibility in the past two years as our lead spinner and he's shouldered that well, but also remained humble and aware that he has lots still to learn in the game.

"He's an ambitious player and his call-ups for the Lions have been just reward for his performances.

"Liam is a bowler who can contain and attack, and he has shown his capability with the bat in four-day and limited overs cricket as well. We're excited about what he can do in the future."
