Somerset Women head coach Trevor Griffin is to leave the role at the end of the season.

Griffin has taken charge of the club for their inaugural Tier 1 campaign, having previously acted as head coach of the Western Storm team.

Somerset are currently sixth in the One-Day Cup table having won four of their 10 matches so far, with four group matches remaining next month.

In the T20 Blast this summer, they won only one of their 14 matches and went on a nine-game losing streak as they finished the competition bottom of the table.

Griffin said it was the “right time” to “hear a new voice” at the club.

“The role of any leader is to identify what their team needs in order to continue to develop and grow, and I feel this is the best thing for the squad and for me,” Griffin said.

“I feel that I need to recharge before focusing on my next opportunity.”

Somerset return to action on 4 September away to Lancashire in the One-Day Cup.
