Ireland captain William Porterfield has committed his future to Warwickshire by signing a two-year extension to his contract.

The 28-year-old, who has made 72 appearances in all competitions for the Bears, has now tied himself to the Edgbaston-based county until the end of the 2015 campaign.

"I've had two fantastic seasons already with Warwickshire and with such a strong squad and a great chance to win more silverware, it was an easy decision to extend my stay here at Edgbaston," the batsman told the club's official website.

"The majority of the squad has been playing together for a few seasons and we're all really looking forward to competing for more honours in the new season."

Porterfield joined Warwickshire from Gloucestershire in 2010.
