Wicketkeeper Phil Mustard has extended his contract with county champions Durham until the end of the 2012 season.

Mustard, who has played 10 one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches for England, has signed a one-year extension to his Riverside deal.

"It's been fantastic to be a part of Durham's success over the past few seasons and I wanted to demonstrate my commitment to the club for the coming years by signing on the dotted line for an extra year," said Mustard. "I've developed a lot over the last season and I feel that my contribution to the side is only going to improve."

Durham head coach Geoff Cook added: "Phil has matured a great deal over the season, not only with his keeping but as a batsman. He is undoubtedly an excellent asset behind the stumps as well as a great character to have in the dressing room."
