Gloucestershire have signed seam bowler Will Williams from Lancashire for the 2026 season. <\/p>\n
The New Zealand-born 32-year-old has signed a three-year deal, after making 52 appearances for Lancashire since moving to the club in 2022.<\/p>\n
Williams has taken 126 wickets – 99 in the County Championship – during his time with the Red Rose, but has played just three matches this campaign.<\/p>\n
“I’m really excited for this new chapter in my life. Speaking to Mark [Alleyne, Gloucestershire head coach], it’s clear the club has strong ambitions, and he’s made it clear how I fit into those plans,” Williams said.<\/p>\n
“From the outside, Gloucestershire has always looked like a tight-knit, hardworking group. I’m keen to bring my experience, learn from the environment, and hopefully make a positive impact on and off the field.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gloucestershire have signed seam bowler Will Williams from Lancashire for the 2026 season.
