Olly Hannon-Dalby extends his Warwickshire contract to 2025

Hannon-Dalby has taken 450 wickets across all three formats since joining the Bears in 2013 and is eyeing more silverware before the end of his career

Olly Hannon-Dalby has agreed a 12-month contract extension which will keep him at Warwickshire until the end of 2025.

The medium pacer moved to Edgbaston from Yorkshire in 2013 and has since taken 450 wickets for the Bears across all formats, including topping the club's red-ball wicket-taking charts for the past two seasons.

Last season, he was the fifth-most prolific bowler across both divisions in the County Championship, picking up 54 first-class wickets. He topped up his wicket tally with 24 scalps at 13.20 in the One-Day Cup.

However, while he has been delighted with his own personal form, he is eyeing more silverware before the end of his career.

On penning the new deal, Hannon-Dalby said: "I'm loving my cricket at the moment and I think that's clear to see from the wickets I've taken in the last two years. I'm proud to have taken 50-plus wickets in back-to-back seasons.

"[But] I'd exchange a lot of wickets for trophies, though, if I'm honest. Whether it's me, Rushy (Chris Rushworth), Pasty (Liam Norwell), Barney (Ed Barnard), Milo (Craig Miles), or Hassan (Ali) taking the wickets, I don't mind. If it's leading to wins and leading to trophies that's the main thing."

While he is arguably best known for his red-ball bowling, he is particularly excited about the team's prospects in the short formats, with the Bears narrowly missing out on the semi-finals of the Vitality Blast after topping the North Group last year.

"When you throw Woakesy (Chris Woakes) into the mix, plus Richard Gleeson and George Garton in the Blast, it's as strong a bowling line-up here as I can remember," he added.

"We've lots of different styles, lots of bases covered, and if we can all stay fit that's one formidable bowling attack for this season and more to come."
