WORCESTERSHIRE CRICKET CLUB'S  Adam Hose has signed a new three year contract to extend his stay at New Road. 

With one year left on his current deal, Hose's new contract sees him sign on with the club until the end of the 2027 season. 

Speaking to the club, Hose said that securing a top-flight position for the third season on the bounce is the goal the side is striving for next summer - achieving the goal would mark the first time Worcestershire has done so since the split into two divisions in 2000. 

He said: "What has been achieved the past two years just shows the direction in which the club is heading.

"Last year we set our sights on promotion and that is exactly what we managed to do. This year we set our sights on finishing sixth, that’s what we spoke about at the start of the year.

"The club has never finished that high in the history of two divisions and so to get that, and tick that off is another goal we should - as a playing group and a club - should be really proud off.

"I think it shows that trend that the club is heading in a really good direction."

Hose was important as the side secured promotion from the second division in 2023, as well as being equally vital as the side securing a sixth-placed finish in the top division.

"I'm really happy to sign the contract," said Hose. "It is giving a fair chunk of the next part of my career to the club. They were first to come in when I was looking to move [from Warwickshire] and offered all-formats cricket which was the reason for me leaving clubs. 

"For them to back me, and show faith in me, like they have done over the last couple of years, has been brilliant.

"To have that faith continued, and have a bit more longevity in a contract, is something I’m really happy about.

"The club is in a really strong position. Obviously a very difficult season last year in terms of things off the field. But I think it shows amazing character within the playing group and the club itself that we had such a strong finish. 

"I’m really happy to commit myself to the club."
