DAVID LLOYD wants to "kick on" after signing a two-year contract extension with Glamorgan.

The former Brymbo ace has penned a deal with that will keep him in the Welsh capital until 2021.

A product of the Glamorgan pathway system, Lloyd has become a permanent fixture in the team since his debut in 2012, amassing over 2,200 first class runs, which include four centuries, and taking over 50 wickets.

Lloyd hit a first class career-best 119 last season in the County Championship against Gloucestershire, and followed that up a month later with 92 in the One-Day Cup clash with Middlesex.

Injuries curtailed Lloyd's progress as Glamorgan struggled last term, but the St Asaph-born all-rounder is relishing the chance to help the Welsh county start their ascent back up the standings under a new coach after Robert Croft departed earlier this month.

Lloyd said: “It’s obviously exciting and I’m immensely proud to extend my contract with Glamorgan.

“We’ve got a good core of young guys coming through and hopefully we can push on next year as a team and I looking forward to being a part of it.

“At 26 I’m now one of the senior players at the club and I want to kick on over the next few seasons and score plenty of runs and take plenty of wickets to win games for Glamorgan and Wales.”

Chief executive Hugh Morris was delighted to keep hold of Lloyd, saying: “David has come through our Pathway system and has proudly represented his home county for several years.

“He is a proven performer across all three formats with both bat and ball and was having a strong campaign before injuries curtailed his season.

"Hopefully next year he puts his injuries behind him and can carry on improving and fulfil his undoubted talent.

“As a club we are continuing to implement a strategy of developing our young players and giving them an opportunity to impress in the first team and David is a great example of that process.

"We are very pleased he is staying at Glamorgan.”
