DURHAM have signed off-spinning all-rounder Alex Thomson on a two-month loan from Warwickshire. 

The 27-year-old joins Durham ahead of the start of the new County Championship season and will be available for Durham's opening fixture at Trent Bridge that starts on Thursday, April 8. 

A product of Staffordshire's county programme, Thomson made his red ball debut for Warwickshire in 2018 against Yorkshire at Headingley. 

Since then, the former Cardiff MCCU graduate has made 14 first-class appearances, claiming 20 wickets with a best of 6-138 against Hampshire. 

A useful lower-order batsman, Thomson has scored 316 first-class runs from 18 innings.
