Gloucestershire have signed former West Indies international fast bowler Jerome Taylor on a three-year deal.

Taylor will be available for the West Country side in all formats in 2020. Gloucestershire will be the seamer's fourth county, after Leicestershire, Sussex and Somerset.

The 35-year-old will initially join as a Kolpak player, with the possibility of becoming an overseas player at a later date, depending on the impact Brexit has on the Kolpak ruling.

"I am very excited to be joining Gloucestershire and I am looking forward to meeting up with the players and the staff and getting underway," Taylor said.

Head coach Richard Dawson said: "Jerome is an exciting player who will add some pace and international experience to the bowling attack. He can contribute in all formats so he will be a valuable addition to the squad.

"We played some very good cricket last season to get us into Division One and Jerome can help us to set a high standard in the field against some talented opposition."
