Procter Extends Northants Contract Until Age 40

Former Lancashire Championship winner Luke Procter has signed a new two-year contract with Northants that will take him to age 40.

The all-rounder, who was part of Lancashire's 2011 Championship winning side alongside James Anderson, has committed to Northants until he turns 40. Procter, who averaged 19.52 this season, has had an unconventional path to professional cricket, previously working as a qualified electrician, considering plumbing, and even training as a hairdresser. biznow.biz
