Derbyshire signed fast bowler, Pat Brown, on a three-year deal from the end of the 2023 season.
Brown took 22 in the T20 Blast, only the fifth Derbyshire bowler to pass 20 T20 wickets in a season, as well as a maiden List A five-wicket haul against Lancashire.
Brown saw his opportunities in first-class cricket increase across the season, and was rewarded with an England Lions call-up at the end of 2024.
