Somerset paceman Jamie Overton will join Surrey at the end of the season, the London club announced Saturday. The 26-year-old, who unlike twin brother Craig has yet to play for England, has agreed a three-year deal and is set to move to The Oval in November. "We're very pleased Jamie will be joining us and I look forward to seeing him perform in a Surrey shirt," said Surrey director of cricket and former England captain Alec Stewart. Overton, who has taken 164 wickets in 64 first-class appearances, added: "From the moment that Alec made contact and talked me through the opportunity, I was excited about coming to Surrey. "I'm obviously aware of the club's history and success and these were all major attractions for me in moving from Somerset." jdg/jc
