DELPH skipper and county prospect Arron Lilley has signed a new contract with Lancashire.
Lilley (24), from Mossley, has extended his Red Rose deal along with Liam Livingstone and Jordan Clark.
The three, who have progressed through Lancashire’s Academy, have played prominent roles at Emirates Old Trafford this season.
All-rounder Lilley recorded his career-best figures with both bat and ball in the LV= County Championship victory against Derbyshire at Southport earlier this year, hitting 63 runs and taking five for 23 to help Lancashire win.
He has helped guide the county into this weekend’s T20 Blast finals days at Edgbaston, while also assisting Delph up into the top four of the Drakes Huddersfield League Premiership when his county commitments have allowed.
