Opening batter Sol Budinger has signed a new one-year contract with Leicestershire.
The 25-year-old left-hander has scored 1,756 runs across all formats since joining the Foxes from Nottinghamshire two years ago.
Predominately a white-ball player for the club, Budinger finished second to Australia's Peter Handscomb in the run-scoring charts in this season's One-Day Cup with 458 runs at an average of 45.80 as the Foxes reached the semi-final in defence of their title.
Budinger also hit his first half-century for Leicestershire in the T20 Blast in 2024, where he finished with a strike rate of 152.
His red-ball opportunities have been fewer but he did score a career-best first-class score of 87 against Derbyshire in the final County Championship match of the season.
"I'm very happy to continue my time here at Grace Road," he
"I had a pretty good summer and now I’ve got a great opportunity for my cricket to develop further.
"We’re a close bunch of lads and we enjoy each other’s success, which is a great environment to be a part of."
