Paul Collingwood has signed a new one-year deal with Durham.
The 39-year-old all-rounder has spent his entire career with the county, making his first-class debut against Northamptonshire in 1996.
The former England player, who is Durham captain, feels that he still has much to offer as he enters his 20th season with the North-East outfit.
"I've always said I want to carry on playing as long as I possibly can while I am still enjoying it and worthy of a place in the team. I'm absolutely delighted to have signed another contract and I want to carry on improving this wonderful club on the pitch," BT Sport quotes Collingwood as saying.
"I feel I have still got a lot to offer and I'm going to do all I can to keep playing as long as possible. I want to keep this club going in the direction it has been for many years, making incredible strides in the competitive world of cricket.
"We also have a terrific crop of youngsters coming through and I feel I can do a lot to help them develop as cricketers, both on and off the field."
Collingwood has made 264 appearances for Durham, scoring 14,817 runs and taking 154 County Championship wickets.
