Somerset Secures Jack White from Durham in Major Cricket Signing
Somerset signs Jack White from Durham

Somerset has made a major addition to their bowling attack by securing the services of fast bowler Jack White from Durham. The 27-year-old, who has impressed with his pace and accuracy, joins Somerset on a two-year deal.

White, who previously played for Leicestershire before moving to Durham, has been a consistent performer in county cricket. His ability to swing the ball and deliver under pressure makes him a valuable asset for Somerset as they aim to challenge for titles in the upcoming season.

A Strategic Signing for Somerset

Somerset's head coach, Andy Hurry, expressed his delight at the signing, stating, "Jack brings a wealth of experience and skill to our squad. His performances in recent seasons have been outstanding, and we believe he will play a key role in our campaign."

White himself is excited about the move, saying, "I’m thrilled to be joining Somerset. It’s a club with a rich history and ambitious plans, and I can’t wait to contribute to their success."

What This Means for Durham

Durham, meanwhile, will feel the loss of White, who has been a reliable figure in their bowling lineup. The club has wished him well for the future, acknowledging his contributions during his time at Chester-le-Street.

With Surrey also reportedly interested in White, Somerset’s successful acquisition is seen as a coup in the competitive world of county cricket transfers.
