Fin Bean signs new contract at Yorkshire CCC
FIN BEAN has signed a new two-year contract that will keep him at Yorkshire until the end of the 2028 season.
Bean, whose deal had been due to expire at the end of the coming season, said he was delighted to commit to the club.
The 23-year-old played two standout innings for Yorkshire last year: a double century against eventual county champions Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge, and a 53-ball hundred against Durham at Scarborough, Yorkshire’s fastest one-day century.
“I’m naturally delighted to be signing this new deal,” said Bean, who left Yorkshire briefly to work as a mechanic before penning rookie terms in 2022.
“My journey into professional cricket hasn’t always been straightforward, but the belief shown in me by Yorkshire and the coaches has played a huge role in helping me reach this point.
“Whilst last year didn’t always go to plan, it taught me a great deal. I’ve had the chance to focus on key areas in Australia over the winter (playing for Melbourne University) which has proved incredibly valuable and will stand me in good stead for the future.
“The next couple of years are exciting - not just for me personally but for the team as a whole.
"We’re clear on what we want to achieve together, and I’m really looking forward to seeing how far this group can go.”
Gavin Hamilton, the Yorkshire general manager of cricket, said: “Fin has firmly established himself as a proven performer at this level, and has fully repaid our faith in him over the last couple of seasons.
“We’re absolutely delighted that he has committed his future to Yorkshire as we move into the next phase of the team’s development.
“He is a fantastic character to have in the dressing room and consistently drives high standards throughout the group.
“We’re confident he’ll continue to deliver at the top of the order as he has done now on a consistent basis, and we’re excited to see him wear the White Rose over the next two years.”
