Combative all-rounder Graham Wagg has extended his contract with Glamorgan until 2017.

The 31-year-old left-arm seamer and right-handed batsman joined the Welsh county from Derbyshire in 2010, and enjoyed a successful 2014.

In Glamorgan’s opening LV= County Championship game last year he took a career-best 6-29 in a 10-wicket win over Surrey at the Kia Oval.

Wagg also hit his second century - and maiden for Glamorgan - in first-class cricket with a career-best 116 not out against Kent at Canterbury.

Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris said: "Graham is an established first-team player and his key contributions with bat and ball last year demonstrated his importance to the team.

"We are pleased to have secured his services, and Graham's commitment to our cause is a timely boost as our preparations for the new season step up over the course of the coming weeks.”

Wagg, who helped Glamorgan finish runners-up in the 2013 Yorkshire Bank 40, said: "I'm delighted to sign a new contract with Glamorgan, my family are settled in Cardiff and it's a great place to play cricket.

"I came to Glamorgan to help the club win silverware. We haven't got there yet, but the club is ambitious and keen for success and my own personal ambitions have not changed since I arrived here.

"We've some new faces at the club, including some good young players coming through, and with Jacques Rudolph returning as captain I can't wait to get the new campaign started."
