Broad signs new deal with Notts

Stuart Broad last turned out for Notts on Twenty20 finals day last summer Stuart Broad has signed a new three-year contract with Nottinghamshire.

The 24-year-old England fast bowler, who arrived at Trent Bridge from Leicestershire in 2007, is still on an ECB central contract.

His new deal with Notts, which runs until 2013, will only come into effect should he lose his England deal.

And Notts can only hope that Broad, who played for them in the FP t20 finals day at the Rose Bowl last August, will hope that he turns in a repeat of the match-winning performance he produced on his last County Championship appearance.

Broad took 11 wickets in the match in his side's 10-wicket win over Warwickshire at Edgbaston in July, claiming a career best 8-52 in the second innings.

"We knew he was in the England selectors' thoughts when we signed him in 2008," added Newell.

"Although his county apperances have been limited, he has always performed exceptionally well when he's turned out for us."
