England wicketkeeper Matt Prior has committed his future to Sussex by signing a new two-year deal at the County Ground.

After penning the fresh contract, the 29-year-old revealed that he hopes to be part of a successful county.

"It's a great honour to sign another contract for Sussex," he told the county's official website. "I've been at the club as a professional for eleven years now and it is very close to my heart.

"The support over the years from the fans and members alike has been very special, and the players and management are always striving for more success which I can hopefully be a big part of."

Prior, who has amassed over 10,000 first-class runs, made his Sussex debut in 2001.
