Gloucestershire have completed the signing of former Middlesex batsman Dan Housego on a two-year contract.

The County have been tracking the 23-year-old right-hander  for several months and finally  made their move after finalising a cricket budget for 2012.

A former England junior international, Berkshire-born Housego began his career as a member of Gloucestershire's Academy before leaving to join Middlesex.

He is seen as an improving player,  who can fill the problem number three position in Gloucestershire's batting order.
