Vaughan to stay with Yorkshire as he plans another Ashes tilt
Yorkshire chief executive Stewart Regan has confirmed Michael Vaughan will remain with the county next summer and welcomed the England and Wales Cricket Board's decision to award him a central contract.
There had been speculation that the former England captain would leave Headingley at the end of the season with Warwickshire, Hampshire and Lancashire said to be among his suitors.
Bad run: But Michael Vaughan is staying with Yorkshire
If Vaughan, 33, had not landed another central contract then Yorkshire would have been forced to take on his six-figure salary.
But Regan stated that Vaughan is going nowhere and praised the ECB for keeping faith with a man who inspired the 2005 Ashes triumph.
He said: "Michael Vaughan will still be a Yorkshire player next season. The speculation surrounding his future was nothing more than rumour, he is under contract to Yorkshire and he couldn't have just walked away from the club.
'Michael himself has said that a move wasn't on the horizon and, as far as I'm concerned, there's no reason why he won't be playing for Yorkshire.
'If anything, we'll be seeing more of him because he'll be expected to get more appearances and runs under his belt in order to get ready for the Ashes.
'I am delighted he has got another central contract because I thought it would have been a kick in the teeth for him had that not been the case.'
