All-rounder Steffan Piolet and fast bowler Tom Milnes have signed new contracts with LV= County Champions Warwickshire.

Piolet has established himself as a key performer in limited-overs cricket recently, while Milnes made his championship debut in the recent campaign.

The former has penned terms for two years, with the latter signing for three.

After impressing in limited-overs cricket this year, Steffan Piolet has agreed a new two-year deal with Warwickshire, the LV= County Champions

Assistant coach Dougie Brown said: “Both Steff and Tom are good athletes, great team men and as young players have excellent potential to play a key role in the team for many years to come.

“Steffan has put in some excellent performances in limited-overs competitions and was one of our best bowlers in last season’s Friends Life t20 with an economy rate of just a shade above a run a ball.

“While being an excellent death bowler and hard-hitting batsman, there is a great opportunity for him to develop his game further over the coming months and try to force his way in to the LV= County Championship side.

“Having been with the club since the age of 10, Tom is Warwickshire through and through and everyone was really pleased for him to make his championship debut earlier this season.

“He’s worked incredibly hard to become a key member of our seam attack and is certainly an exciting prospect to follow in the years ahead.”
