Middlesex have announced that Gareth Berg and Sam Robson have signed extensions to their contracts with the club.

Robson, a 20-year-old opening batsman from Sydney, Australia, begun his five-year UK residency qualification this season.

He made his maiden first-class century, 110, in the LV= County Championship match with Essex at Lord’s this season.

Berg, 28, the former Glamorgan all-rounder, scored 94 not out and took five wickets in Middlesex’s defeat to Northamptonshire at Wantage Road this month.
