Liddle, 25, has not played a competitive game of cricket for the first team in 2009 having been out all year with a stress fracture of the right ankle. However, his pace and ability with the ball holds a great deal of potential for future years.

Chris had a good Twenty20 tournament in 2008 averaging 16.50 and taking two four-wicket hauls, which culminated in him earning the Player of the Month award for June of that year.

Chris Liddle said: "It's been a frustrating year, but I'm incredibly excited about getting fit and playing a full part in a successful Sussex team."

Mike Yardy, Sussex CCC Captain, said: "It was a shame for both him and the club that he was out all year due to injury, but he's got a chance in 2010 to show everybody what they've been missing."
