GLOUCESTERSHIRE have signed young pace bowler Oliver Newby on loan from Lancashire.
Newby has arrived for an initial period of 28 days, including the entire Cheltenham Festival, which starts on Wednesday as the county take on Worcestershire in the County Championship.
The 23-year-old worked his way through the Lancashire Academy and in 2007 took 18 wickets for the county in Division one of the County Championship.
Gloucestershire Team Mentor, Jack Russell said: "He is a young pace bowler with lots of talent.
"He will be important to us to help share the workload within the bowling unit."
