South African all-rounder Migael Pretorius has agreed to return to Somerset County Cricket Club for the 2027 season, the club announced on Friday. The 31-year-old has accumulated more than 800 runs for the county during his previous spell, establishing himself as a valuable contributor with both bat and ball.

Pretorius, who has represented South Africa in limited-overs cricket, initially joined Somerset as an overseas signing and quickly became a fan favorite at the Cooper Associates County Ground. His decision to commit to the 2027 campaign provides the club with experienced depth ahead of the next County Championship cycle.

The announcement comes as Somerset continue shaping their squad for future seasons, with Pretorius's all-round capabilities offering flexibility across all formats of the domestic game.
