Maybe he'll come back here. After all he did used to ( jokingly ...or perhaps not!) claim he was the best spinner at Durham!
Seriously, I doubt he will return because the impression when he left was that he was prepared to take a significant cut (ie effectively given a white ball contract) but was still deemed surplus to requirements.
Although if he does come back what's the betting Poynter will still keep ?!

I can't see it myself, but then we don't have many players with a lot of experience, so who knows?

The last I spoke to him about 4/5 weeks ago he was training hard and looking forward to the new season.
It is possible that he has been told he will have limited appearances- Dent is now skipper and Roderick( wkt/ batsman) seems have returned to full fitness to resume his first team place. They also Bracey as back up keeper.

Yeh. He's not going to merit a place as a batsman so rather than hang around in the 2nd logical that he comes home to his young family, Gloucs pay up most of his contract and he makes up the surplus with a club contract. Suits both parties.
