SOMERSET'S outgoing wicketkeeper Ryan Davies has paid tribute to the club's staff, players and supporters after being released by the club for personal reasons.
In a statement released on Twitter, Davies admitted that "things obviously didn't work out as planned" but had kind words for those involved with both Somerset and Weston-super-Mare, for whom the 20-year-old starred as they won promotion from WEPL Somerset this summer.
