Ollie Robinson and Jofra Archer have both signed one-year contract extensions with Sussex.

The bowlers will remain with the county until the end of 2025.

Archer, 29, has taken 181 first-class wickets since joining Sussex in 2016.

He's also featured in England's test and limited-overs teams, most famously bowling the super-over in England's 2019 World Cup Final win.

Archer returned to England's T20 set-up this summer after a long injury lay-off.

Speaking about his contract extension, Archer said he's "delighted" to sign an extension, and that "Hove feels like home" to him.

Robinson, 30, joined Sussex in 2015 and has taken 423 wickets in 97 first-class matches.

He has also featured in England's test team, taking 76 wickets at an average of 22.92.

Ollie Robinson said he's "very pleased" to sign his contract extension.

"The cricket we've played this year shows that we are going in a great direction as a team.

"I am looking forward to being a part of that for another year and to see us push on again as a Club."

Sussex Head Coach, Paul Farbrace, added he's "delighted" with both players' contract extensions.

"It is fantastic to see Jofra back playing and being able to enjoy his high level of skill on the field.

"He has made a significant contribution to club, even when he has not been able to play, and the pre-season camp to India was a great example of this.

"Oliver has played a key role for the team this season in both the County Championship and the Blast, and he has contributed hugely to the on-field progress we have made as a Club.

"We look forward to him continuing to help the club win games and continue to develop our talented squad."
