Gloucestershire have handed a two-year contract to fast bowler Gemaal Hussain.
The 26-year-old impressed during a recent trial with Gloucs, having most recently been playing club cricket in the Birmingham League.
Gloucs coach Jack Russell told the county's official website: "We are delighted to have discovered Gemaal. We are looking forward to seeing him develop into a top-class bowler with us."
Hussain himself added: "I am very grateful that Gloucestershire have given me this opportunity.
"It is something that I have been working towards very hard for the last four or five years. I am very keen to embrace the challenge and perform to the best of my ability."
