 Steffan Jones has moved back and forth in recent years |
Steffan Jones has rejoined his former county Somerset after rejecting a new two-year deal with Derbyshire. The Welsh fast bowler, with 59 first-class wickets in 2006, has made his decision for family reasons.
The 32-year-old said: "I have had many sleepless nights in recent weeks over this decision and I have to point out that it is for purely family reasons.
"My wife Alex is expecting our first child and she is from Taunton and all her family are based there."
Derbyshire chief executive Tom Sears said: "We are obviously bitterly disappointed to be losing Steff after having such a superb impact this year."
Jones played for Somerset from 1997-2003 before leaving to join Northants for two years.
He spent just a single season at Derby and his new Somerset contract is for three years.
