Steven Mullaney pens two-year extension with Nottinghamshire

The club captain has scored 12,830 runs and taken 334 wickets in 429 appearances since joining Nottinghamshire in 2010

Steven Mullaney has signed a two-year contract extension which will keep him at Trent Bridge until at least the end of the 2024 season.

The 36-year-old, who joined Nottinghamshire from Lancashire in 2010, has scored 12,830 runs and taken 334 wickets in 429 appearances for the club.

Last season, he played an integral role in the club securing the LV= Insurance County Championship Division Two title, scoring 993 runs at 52.26 and chipping in with 15 wickets.

He was also a part of the side which won the County Championship in 2010 and has scored over 9,000 runs and taken 134 wickets across his first-class career for Nottinghamshire.

With the white ball, Mullaney has been a member of four trophy-winning sides: the Yorkshire Bank 40 in 2013, the 2017 Royal London Cup, and T20 Blast titles in 2017 and 2020.

Commenting on extending his stay at Trent Bridge, Mullaney said: "I've made no secret of how proud I am to represent and lead this county, it has been a massive part of my life and I want to contribute to further success for the club for as long as I can.  

"There have been some challenging periods for us since I joined, but they have made the wins along the way, and trophies at the end, all the sweeter.

"The group that is being assembled now, there is no reason why we can’t be hugely ambitious and strive to be at the very top in all formats moving forwards; I genuinely think we have that talent within our squad.

"We have got a good blend of youth and experience, some lads at the very top of their game, and it is an honour to take to the field with them.

"But with the size of Notts, we can't settle with just having the potential, we need to push for titles, and I am hopeful that we can do that over the next two years."

Head coach, Peter Moores, added: "Steve enjoyed a fine season last year leading the Championship team back to Division One; he produced several match-winning performances with both bat and ball and his leadership continues to develop year on year.

"He has played a key role in getting the best out of this group of players, and his skills will be tested again next season with the challenges Division One will bring. I know this is something he will relish along with the rest of our staff who are all keen to show how far we’ve come as a group.

"He has always been a pleasure to work with and our relationship has gone from strength to strength over the years we have worked together. At the moment we are in the planning phase, though next season will come around soon enough and, like me, I know Steve can't wait to get stuck in."
