TYMAL MILLS believes Sussex sidekick Danny Briggs is back to his best at Hove.

Briggs has now signed a new multi-year contract ahead of the Vitality Blast clash at home to leaders Gloucestershire tomorrow.

The 27-year-old spinner has played 78 matches and taken 108 wickets for Sussex since arriving from Hampshire in October 2015 on a three-year deal.

Paceman Mills told The Argus: “I think Danny has made quite a big move this year, getting back to where he was when he was a really good one-day bowler for Hampshire.

“It’s really good to see – and good that we have that other aspect of the bowling attack as well.”

Briggs has chipped in with bat, ball and in the field across the formats.

Head coach Jason Gillespie said: “Danny’s an important cog in the Sussex machine and not just because of his on-field contributions.

“He’s a great man to have around the dressing room and he’s got a great cricket brain.”
