The 23-year-old was a member of Gloucestershire's Academy before moving to Lord's, and played for their Second XI against Denmark as long ago as in 2003
Somerset have signed Albie Morkel as their second overseas player for the Friends Life t20.

Somerset have signed former West Indies captain Chris Gayle as their overseas player for the Friends Life t20.

Gayle, however, is involved in a contractual dispute with the WICB which shows no sign of coming to a conclusion.
Four Leicestershire players; batsmen Josh Cobb, Will Jefferson and Greg Smith, along with seam bowler Alex Wyatt; have all signed one-year contract extensions with the county, meaning that they will remain at Grace Road until at least the end of the 2013 season.
