Somerset County Cricket Club have added South African batter Jordan Hermann to their squad on a short-term deal.
The 24-year-old will be available for selection for the next three Rothesay County Championship fixtures against Sussex, Nottinghamshire, and Warwickshire.
Hermann said: "I'm excited by the opportunity of playing County Championship cricket for Somerset.
"I'm always looking to get better and hopefully playing in English conditions can help take my game to the next level.
"Somerset have begun the season well and hopefully I can help to contribute to the team carrying on that good start."
He has scored more than 3,000 runs in first-class cricket at an average of 45.22, with a highest score of 187 not out.
Named in the South Africa A squad to face England Lions in two four-day matches in May, Hermann recently earned his first senior call-up for South Africa’s IT20 side, which saw them beat New Zealand.
Andy Hurry, director of cricket at Somerset CCC, said: "We have suffered a number of injuries to key batters in the last month, so we felt that this was the perfect opportunity to strengthen the batting line-up, and Jordan will certainly help to strengthen our options in that department.
"Jordan is a player with a growing reputation, and we look forward to him helping us to maintain our positive start to the County Championship campaign."
