The 31-year-old joined the county as a Kolpak player at the start of the current campaign and has impressed during his first few months at Taunton.

Thomas told the Somerset Gazette: "I'm delighted to have been given another year's contract at Somerset. It is something I have been hoping for ever since I arrived.

"I now just want to go out there and do the business for the county.

"I came here with no guarantees. I started off playing for the seconds and got 13 wickets in two matches which opened the door for me in the firsts.

"Everybody here has been really good to me and I don't feel the need to go anywhere else."
