Gloucestershire have signed South African all-rounder Graeme Van Buuren on a two-year contract.

Van Buuren, 25, who played for the Pretoria-based Titans, is a middle-order batsman with an impressive first-class average of 50.67.

He qualifies as a non-overseas player courtesy of his British wife, Hannah.

He told the club's website: "I am really excited to be here. Coming to a county that has had some success recently is unbelievable and hopefully I can help the boys add to the trophy cabinet."

Gloucestershire head coach Richard Dawson said: "It is brilliant to have Graeme join our squad for the next couple of seasons.

"He has a proven track record and will add to the competition for places."
