Former South Africa and Netherlands international Roelof van der Merwe has signed a one-year contract extension at Somerset to run until the end of 2022.
The all-rounder has also been signed on a 'local player' basis, as he enters his sixth successive year at Taunton.
Johannesburg-born Van der Merwe, 36, has scored more than 2,100 runs for the county and claimed over 150 wickets.
"Somerset is my home and I have loved every minute of my time here," Van der Merwe said. "We have a great squad."
He added: "I'm really excited to see what we can achieve as a group. This is a very exciting time for the club and there is a real chance that we can add to the [One-Day Cup] trophy that we won in 2019."
