Gloucestershire have announced the signing of Ireland all-rounder Curtis Campher on a short-term deal.

Campher, 25, joins for the final group match in the One-Day Cup against Leicestershire on Wednesday.

Johannesburg-born Campher became the first man to take a hat-trick for Ireland in T20 cricket against the Netherlands at the 2021 men's World Cup.

Known as a white-ball specialist, Campher made his T20 debut for Ireland at 22 and has already played in three T20 World Cups.

Should Gloucestershire progress to the knock-out stages of the 50-over format, he will also be available to play in both the quarter-final and any potential semi-final.

This is Campher's second stint playing in the One-Day Cup after featuring in five matches for Somerset last season.
