"I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I hope to be able to repay the faith that the coaches and committee have shown in me to date by putting in match winning performances for the first team in 2019 and beyond."

Director of cricket Andy Hurry said: "It’s important to secure the future of the club, so we are delighted that Tom has committed his future to Somerset.

"We feel that Tom has a very high ceiling and he is on an upward trajectory. We look forward to him continuing his development with us over the coming seasons."
