"It’s an honour to represent Somerset, the club I’ve supported since I was a little boy. I’m living that little boy’s dream every time I put on the shirt and play in front of the Somerset supporters"

Jack Leach has signed a contract extension with Somerset.

The England spinner has put pen to paper on a deal which will now see him remain with the county until at least the end of the 2020 summer.

"It’s an honour to represent Somerset, the club I’ve supported since I was a little boy. I’m living that little boy’s dream every time I put on the shirt and play in front of the Somerset supporters," he said.
