Lancashire seamer Oliver Newby is aiming to prove he was right to turn his back on interest from a number of county rivals to sign on at Old Trafford for another two years.
The 23-year-old 6ft-5ins bowler has been on the fringes of the first team for a number of years, but finally made the grade with eight County Championship appearances last term.
And, although he believes he could have played more often, he was happy to pledge his future to the red rose club.
"There were three counties who were really keen," said Newby, who took 18 wickets last season.
"But I am Lancashire through and through. I want to do well with this county."
