All-rounder Benny Howell has rejected a new contract with Gloucestershire and will leave at the end of the season after 10 years at the club, to join Hampshire where he began his county career.
The 33-year-old joined Gloucestershire in 2012 after a spell with Hampshire, and has made 277 appearance across all competitions, scoring 6,701 runs and taking 312 wickets.
Performance Director Steve Snell said the club made a “competitive offer” to keep Howell but his mind has been made up, and Hampshire's desire to sign him is reflected by the fact he's been given a three-year deal which takes him into his mid-30s.
