Derbyshire have extended the contract of Daryn Smit by a further year to keep the wicketkeeper-batsman at the club until the end of the 2019 season.
Smit joined Derbyshire on a two-year Kolpak deal ahead of the recently-concluded county campaign and amassed 548 runs across all three formats, as well as taking 30 catches and three stumpings with the gloves.
The 33-year-old, who has represented South Africa A, said: "I really appreciate the opportunity to extend my contract. I'm really happy here and I've got that first season in county cricket under my belt so I know what to work on going forward.
"I always strive for better and there are a lot of positives to take out from this season and a good platform to build on."
Derbyshire cricket advisor Kim Barnett added: "Daryn has been a fantastic addition to our squad this summer. He has made telling contributions both on the field and in the dressing room."
Derbyshire beat Gloucestershire by 157 runs last week to claim a third Specsavers County Championship victory on the final day of the season.
