McKiernan signs one-year extension
All-rounder Mattie McKiernan has signed a one-year contract extension which will keep him at Derbyshire until the end of the 2020 season.
The 24-year-old performed well for the Second XI last summer, claiming 16 Twenty20 wickets at an average of 12.31 and with best figures of 3-15.
He also scored 143 runs in his only Second XI Championship appearance, with back-to-back half-centuries and a top-score of 85.
A powerful hitter and tricky leg spin bowler, McKiernan has impressed the Derbyshire coaching staff over the winter and now commits his future to the Club for the next two seasons.
