Leicestershire CCC pace bowler Charlie Shreck has signed a new one-year contract at Grace Road.

Shreck, who joined County at the beginning of the year, was the club's top wicket-taker across all forms in 2014, with 57, and will remain part of the Grace Road attack for the 2015 season.

Interim chief executive Andrew Boyce was pleased to have secured the 36-year-old's services for another year.

"We are pleased that Charlie has decided to sign a new contract," Boyce said. "He has been a very good signing for us with his performances on the field and his contribution off the field."

"With Charlie and [new signing, Australian seamer] Clint McKay, we now have an experienced frontline attack who we believe will produce key performances on the field as well as help guide the younger bowlers at the club.

"Charlie has been a consistent performer for Leicestershire in all three competitions. He has bowled a lot of overs for us in the Championship and also bowled well in white ball cricket. He is a big character in the dressing room.

"Charlie's competitive nature on the field was good for the team and he also provided some more than useful runs in his entertaining fashion, including an excellent 50 at Surrey."

Shreck is the fourth County player to sign a contract extension with the club in the post-season, following in the footsteps of Ned Eckersley, Matthew Boyce and Ollie Freckingham.

But, County have seen Josh Cobb, Shiv Thakor, Nathan Buck and Greg Smith turn down new deals to move away from Grace Road.
