Stuart Broad has extended his contract with Nottinghamshire by two years and is set to play his 13th and 14th seasons for the county.

"Every time I step out at Trent Bridge, it feels just as special as the first time I walked onto the turf at three or four years old," Broad said. "I love Nottingham being my home, I love playing for the club, and I certainly can't envisage myself playing for any other county."

Broad had signed for the Notts from Leicestershire in 2008 and was instrumental in winning the trophy for his county in 2010, 2013 and 2017. The pacer has appeared in 40 first-class matches for the county and returned 147 wickets at an average of 24, with 17 of them coming from seven appearances in 2019.

Head coach Peter Moores spoke about the "brilliant leader" among other things that Broad is to the side.

"Whether it's by example with the way he prepares for games and goes about his cricket, or with words of advice for his fellow players, Stuart is a brilliant leader for us," Moores said. "We were all really pleased for him with the way he performed in the Ashes. He'd spent some time out of the side during the previous winter and responded in the best possible way, by working harder than ever and coming back stronger.

"Someone who can continue to do that - and to reinvent himself, in some ways, despite all his success - is a great example to everyone. His record for Notts when he's with us is outstanding and - knowing Stuart - he'll be as motivated as anyone for us to bounce back from last season by playing successful four-day cricket for the next couple of years."

Broad, in turn, had good things to say about the head coach, the partnership evident in this mutual exchange of praises.

"One of Mooresy's [Head Coach Peter Moores] great strengths as a coach is that he's always looking to improve players," said Broad. "Him and Kunny [Performance Analyst Kunal Manek] showed me how my leave percentage was quite high, even though one of my strengths as a bowler is threatening the stumps. That was great information to take into the latter half of my season with Notts and into the Ashes."
