Zander de Bruyn has signed a two year extension to his contract at Surrey after having a fantastic summer for Surrey with bat and with ball.
Despite only scoring 2 in today's championship match at Chelmsford, he is Surrey's top scorer with 1222 runs, also chipping in with match winning performances in the FLt20 and the Clydesdale Bank 40, notching up 275 and 311 in those respective competitions.
The South African has also taken 27 wickets in all forms of the game, proving himself as a highly important part of the team, which he has been ever present since his move from Somerset at the end of the 2010 season.
This is a fantastic piece of news for Surrey, who rely on de Bruyn as the glue of the batting line up, to hold the innings together, in case the aggressive batsman fall cheaply, which he has done many times this season.
Zander will now be with Surrey until the end of the 2013 season, until he is at the age of 38, with maybe some more years in him, as we've seen with the 42 year old, Mark Ramprakash, who has only just started to struggle after a serious knee injury last season.
