"I'm delighted to sign an extension with the club, a place that has been home for 16 years and counting now," Roland-Jones told the club's website, external. "I remain as motivated as ever to try and push the standards and restore the club back to its desired position, competing in Division One cricket whilst challenging for white-ball honours. "It was a privilege to lead this great club, and I'm equally excited to slip back into the bowling ranks and assist the new leadership in any way possible."
As we reach the end of the season, the rigours of the season inevitably take their toll on the fast-bowling unit, so to be able to bring someone in of Olly's proven international quality to freshen things up ahead of the County Championship run-in is a huge bonus.
