Somerset have extended the stay of South African seamer Migael Pretorius for two more County Championship games, with the option of him also playing in the T20 Blast.
The 29-year-old initially joined on a six-game contract which expired after Somerset's defeat by Durham over the weekend.
However, he will now stay until at least 4 July and is available for selection for the County Championship matches against Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire.
Pretorius has claimed 14 wickets and scored 214 runs - with a best of 77 against Nottinghamshire - this season.
"His attitude and approach has been first class and he has demonstrated on the field that he is a really valuable player and person to have around the group," said Somerset director of cricket Andy Hurry.
Somerset's T20 Blast campaign gets under way on Friday at home to Essex.
