Scotland's Chris Sole has joined Glamorgan for the next five T20 Blast matches.

The 30-year-old, also a business development manager for a recruitment firm, is available to face Surrey at the Kia Oval on Friday (June 21).

The spell also covers matches against Sussex Sharks, Essex, Middlesex and Gloucestershire when the competition resumes in July.

Sole, who has 16 wickets in 19 T20s, was part of the Scotland squad that was knocked out of the Men's T20 World Cup at the first group stage.

He took two wickets in four matches at 48.50 as the Scots, courtesy of defeat to Australia in their final game, missed out on the Super 8s.

His 20-over career has included stints in the Caribbean Premier League with St Lucia Kings and in the ILT20 with Sharjah Warriors.

"I'm very excited to be included in Glamorgan's Vitality Blast campaign and can't wait to join the squad at the Oval tonight," said Sole. 

"Hopefully I can contribute to some on-field success in the coming weeks."

Head coach Grant Bradburn added: "To be able to add Chris Sole's high quality skills, experience and character into our squad, brings an exciting vibe to our team, as we look forward to playing at The Oval tonight.

"Having worked with Chris previously in Scotland, we know the high value he will bring and I'm sure he will thrive in our environment."

Heading into the final game of the first block of Blast matches Glamorgan have won two out of seven matches, with four defeats and one no result. Those victories came at the start of the month against Sussex and Middlesex.
