Rory Kleinveldt extends contract at Northamptonshire County Cricket Club

South African all-rounder Rory Kleinveldt has signed a one-year contract extension at Northamptonshire County Cricket Club. 

The 33-year-old has played at the County Ground for two seasons, in which he has accumulated a total of 81 wickets in Championship cricket and scored 782 runs. 

Also playing T20, the South African has claimed 30 wickets and was part of Northamptonshire's NatWest T20 Blast title winning squad this year. 

Only last week, Northamptonshire head coach David Ripley presented Kleinveldt with his county cap in acknowledgement of his contribution to the club. 

On extending Kleinveldt's contract, Ripley said: "Rory Kleinveldt is a Steelback, to the core, we love having him here".
