WARWICKSHIRE have signed fast bowler Richard Jones from Worcestershire on a one-year contract.

The 27-year-old, who made 41 first-class appearances for Worcestershire after making his debut in 2007, joined 2012 county champions Warwickshire on loan in August last season but was then injured in his first net session at Edgbaston.

Jones said: “Warwickshire have been one of the top teams in the LV= County Championship for several years and the chance to work with Warwickshire director of cricket Dougie Brown, bowling coach Graeme Welch and a team of top-class fast bowlers is a fantastic opportunity for me.”
