ALL-ROUNDER Ravi Bopara has signed a new one year deal with Essex County Cricket Club.

The 28-year-old who made his debut at the Ford County Ground in 2002 will remain with the Eagles until at least the end of the 2014 season.

Bopara who will be heading out to Australia to represent England in the One-Day series next month said he is delighted to have signed the deal.

"I was pleased with how my season went in 2013 both domestically and Internationally for Essex and England, respectively," he said.

"I am now looking to continue this form into the new season with Essex where we can hopefully win some silverware."
