Seam bowler Gowler, who is studying at Loughborough University, joins us from Wisbech Town having also been on the books of Northamptonshire before being released at the end of the 2024 season.

First XI captain Josh Winterton said: "I'm extremely happy and excited to have George on board this season. I’m very confident he will make a huge impact on the pitch straight the way and look forward to seeing him in Sileby colours at Cobalts Mill Lane."

Welcome George and all the very best for the season.
