Yorkshire CCC and Darren Gough are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on awarding Darren a playing contract with the Club.

Since returning from Australia injured, Darren has worked extremely hard with the medical and coaching staff at Yorkshire to ensure that he can continue his playing career both at county and international level.

Darren is already engaged in the Yorkshire pre-season preparation schedule, and if his fitness progress continues will be playing in Yorkshire’s matches at the start of the season.

Everyone at Yorkshire CCC, and I am sure England, also wish to see Darren Gough, fully fit again and it is Darren’s intention to continue playing cricket and to regain his international place in the England team.

The details of the contract between Darren and Yorkshire will remain private, however, it can be clarified that it centres around Darren playing and coming through the first 3 months of the season fully fit and thereafter returning to normal contractual terms between the two parties.
