“I’m looking forward to the hard work that lies ahead and hopefully contributing to helping the club to success in years to come.”

The Chester-le-Street side were promoted back to the top flight this season after winning the Division Two title.
Wicketkeeper-batter Robbie Bowman, 19, and batter Luke Symington, 18, have also signed rookie deals.
