FORMER Yorkshire fast bowler Steve Kirby yesterday signed a three-year contract with Gloucestershire, a switch forecast exclusively in yesterday's Evening Press.
"I see this move as a big challenge and I am really looking forward to getting involved in First Division cricket," said Kirby.
"I want to repay Gloucestershire for the faith they have shown in me and hopefully my actions will speak louder than words."
Kirby declined to speculate on his England ambitions, saying that he did not want to look too far ahead, but he was determined to do the day-to-day things right with his new club.
He added: "There is a tinge of sadness at leaving Yorkshire where I have made some wonderful friends but I have to look to the future and not back."
