Moores Signs New Deal

LANCASHIRE COUNTY Cricket Club is delighted to announce that Head Coach Peter Moores has signed a two-year extension to his current contract which will run until 2014.

The former England coach arrived at Old Trafford in 2009 and guided the Red Rose to their first outright LV= County Championship title in 77 years last season.

Moores said: “I am really pleased to commit to Lancashire in what is a very exciting time for the Club. Since arriving here the players and staff have been fantastic and I have enjoyed my time immensely. I am looking forward to working with everyone at the Club over the coming years to try and build on the success of last season.”

Lancashire’s Cricket Director Mike Watkinson added: “Three years ago we restructured the Cricket Department which gave us the opportunity to create a role for a dedicated Head Coach who was able to concentrate on the development and performance of the professional squad and to have an input in the junior development programme.

“Peter already proved that he was one of the most successful coaches in cricket and since he’s been at Old Trafford he has brought the very best out of a largely home grown squad which culminated in our first outright County Championship title in 77 years.

“I am delighted that we are able to continue with him heading our coaching team over the coming years.”
