Gloucestershire's Tom Smith pens new two-year contract

Gloucestershire spinner Tom Smith has committed his future to the club after signing a new two-year contract that promises to keep him at the Brightside Ground until the 2019 Championship season conclusion.

The 30-year-old has been representing Glos since 2013 and was a regular in one-day cricket last season, featuring 19 games across the two competitions - the Vitality Blast and Royal London One-Day Cup.

"I thoroughly enjoy my time at Gloucestershire," the left-arm orthodox spin bowler said.

"The club's recruitment of Ryan Higgins, Daniel Worrall, Chris Rogers and AJ Tye shows its desire to push for honours and I'm really proud to be a part of that."

Gloucestershire head-coach Richard Dawson added: "Tom has been an integral part of our squad since arriving at Gloucestershire so it's great that he has re-signed with us."
