Surrey have confirmed that Wicketkeeper Steven Davies has signed a new two-year contract extension with the county club.

Great to announce that @SteveDavies43 will be playing his cricket at the Kia Oval until at least 2016 – http://t.co/DRckVQEX9R #greatman

Davies’s previous deal was due to expire next year, but the 28-year-old has now committed himself at the Oval until the end of the 2016 season.

The left-hander, who joined Surrey from his hometown county Worcestershire in 2010 – has scored 937 runs in Division Two of the County Championship last season, at an average of 40.

Davies took twitter to express his feelings after signing a new two-year contract.

Delighted to have extended my stay at Surrey. Thanks for all of you’re kind messages. Should be a great two years. #TheRey
