Seam bowler Tom Giles has signed a new two-year contract with Nottinghamshire to keep him at Trent Bridge until the end of the 2028 season.
Giles, 20, is a graduate of the Nottinghamshire Academy and made his First-Class debut for the Green and Golds in September this year.
Having claimed three wickets in his maiden outing against Leicestershire, the right-armer went on to make three more appearances in this summer’s County Championship to close out the summer.
“I'm delighted to be continuing my development here,” said Giles. “Joining the Academy from Lincolnshire was a big step for me, but I’ve had brilliant support and really enjoyed my time here.
“It's exciting to see the hard work starting to pay off, and making my First-Class debut this season was a really special moment.
“To get out there and take wickets at this level was a great experience, and it's made me even more determined to keep working for further opportunities in the first team.”
Giles joined the Academy at the age of 15 and progressed to make his List A bow for Notts against Surrey in the 2025 Metro Bank One Day Cup, in which he recorded Test-capped Rory Burns as his first wicket.
“I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to keep developing my game even more this winter and over the next couple of seasons,” continued Giles.
“Being around the coaches and experienced players here, and seeing how they go about their business, is a huge learning opportunity, and it’s helping me as I keep looking to improve.
“I want to become someone the team can rely on, and this extension gives me a great opportunity to keep pushing forward, so I’m really excited about what the future holds.”
Nottinghamshire Head Coach, Peter Moores, added: “Ever since Tom joined our squad, we’ve loved his attitude and his approach to the game.
“He’s always hungry to learn, but also, when he’s on the field, he makes sure he gives it everything with whatever he’s got on any given day.
“It was great to see him make his debut in the County Championship, and it was a well-earned moment for all the work that he’d put in with Kevin Shine.
“The key now is to build on this opportunity that he has, and if he keeps the approach he has at the moment and carries on going about things in the same way, he’s got a great chance of success.”
