George to depart this winter
Somerset all-rounder, George Thomas will be leaving the Club this winter when his contract expires.
The 20-year-old batter and medium pace bowler, who plays his club cricket for Taunton St Andrews, joined the Somerset Academy in 2019 after spending three years on the Emerging Player Programme.
The former King’s College student made his debut for Somerset as a 17-year-old during the 2021 Royal London Cup and went on to make 23 limited overs appearances for the Club, scoring 620 runs and taking 13 wickets. He also represented England at Under 19 level.
Looking back at his time with Somerset, George said: “I’ve loved every minute of my time here. I’ve made some good friends, and it’s meant a lot to me because I’m Taunton born and bred.
“I love the Members and supporters, and I’ll definitely cherish my years with Somerset.”
Somerset Director of Cricket, Andy Hurry said: “Everyone connected with the Club would like to thank George for his service, effort and commitment during his time with the Club. From his time on the Pathway, through to the present day, George has been a real pleasure to work with.
“During a period where there is significant competition for places, we sense First XI opportunities would be limited moving forward and we therefore wish him every success in his future endeavours.”
