The Yorkshire County Cricket Club today confirmed that Jack Brooks has accepted a three-year deal with Somerset and will leave at the end of the season.

The 34-year-old seamer, who is in the final year of his contract with the White Rose, will join up with the Taunton-based side after the conclusion of the 2018 season.

In the six years since joining Yorkshire, Brooks has contributed to a hugely successful period for the Club which saw the White Rose claim two County Championship trophies and fall just short of a third successive title in 2016. The Oxford-born bowler took over 60 wickets in each of those years.
