Australia International Dan Worrall will be returning to Gloucestershire for the 2019 season.

The 27-year-old right-arm fast bowler originally signed for the first half of the 2018 season and made a good impression in both the Championship and the Royal London Cup but his spell was cut short after a picking up a foot injury.

During his brief stint at the club, Worrall took 16 wickets in four Championship games.

His home debut, against Glamorgan, also saw him twice better his previous best score, making 36 in the first innings and 50 in the second.

Worrall also bowled his full allocation of overs in both his Royal London Cup appearances, taking 3-47 on debut against Glamorgan at Cardiff.

Worrall will be available to play for Gloucestershire across all formats in the 2019 season.

He hasn't played since May 20, but with South Australia's Sheffield Shield season starting on October 16, Gloucestershire supporters can follow his performances with interest.

Dan Worrall said: “I am delighted to be heading back to Gloucestershire in 2019. I loved my first taste of county cricket last year and was sorry to have it cut short by injury. Everyone at Nevil Road made me very welcome and I can’t wait to get back and join up with the boys in April. Until then, I hope to have a strong summer at home both with South Australia and the Melbourne Stars.”

Gloucestershire Cricket, Head Coach, Richard Dawson added: “It’s great to be having Dan back at Gloucestershire for next season.

He fitted into the changing room brilliantly and will be welcomed back. He showed his quality during his short stint this season and I’m sure he will perform outstandingly next season.”
