Darren Gough has today confirmed that he will continue his career with Yorkshire. His existing contract has a year to run and the Club has indicated its willingness to extend the contract when the existing term expires. It has been a difficult time for him personally with a heavy international programme, his benefit activities and persistent press comment as to his future with the Club. The County has acknowledged Darren's significant contribution to Yorkshire Cricket over many years both on and off the field and which has included raising the profile and standards of cricket throughout Yorkshire and elsewhere. As England's leading bowler and the archetypal Yorkshireman Darren has provided inspiration to players of all ages. As a role model his contribution to cricket in general and to Yorkshire in particular has been immeasurable and the Club was therefore most anxious that he should continue his career in the Broad Acres.
