Steve Davies, the former England wicketkeeper, is expected to join Somerset after calling time on his Surrey career.Surrey announced on Wednesday that Davies will leave the club at the end of this season after he turned down a new two-year contract because he wants to revive his wicketkeeping career.Davies path to a wicketkeeping role he surprisingly relinquished at the start of the 2014 season is currently blocked at Surrey by Ben Foakes, whose development as a keeper-batsman has made him a possible selection as a back-up wicketkeeper for Englands Test tours of Bangladesh and India this winter.Davies, 30, leaves after 244 games for Surrey in which he has scored 10,635 runs for the club in all formats as well as taking 322 catches and making 36 stumpings. He joined the club from Worcestershire in 2010 and played for Surrey for six seasons. He won the last of his 13 limited-overs caps for England five years ago.Surreys praise for his contribution was strangely muted. A statement said formally: The club would like to thank Steve for his many contributions over the past six seasons and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.Davies decision to commit himself to a specialist batting role effectively ended his chances of an England recall, although he remains a stylish left-handed batsman, destructive through the off side, and his century against Yorkshire at Headingley in the Royal London Cup semi-final against Yorkshire at Headingley helped guide Surrey to the final. They will face Warwickshire at Lords on Saturday.He made a surprise international debut in a Twenty20 against West Indies in Trinidad in 2009. but was soon replaced by Craig Kieswetter as England went on to lift the World Twenty20 in 2010. He then replaced Kieswetter in the 50-over side and travelled to Australia in 2010-11 as Englands first-choice wicketkeeper in limited-overs cricket and back-up to Matt Prior in the Test squad.But one game into the seven-match ODI that series that preceded the World Cup, Davies was unexpectedly dumped from the team and replaced by Prior who went on to the World Cup and established himself as Englands first-choice keeper. Since Priors retirement, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow have vied for the gloves.Somerset keeping duties are currently undertaken by Ryan Davies, one of the youngest and most promising county keepers on the circuit, who joined them from Kent a year ago, but whose lack of runs and general inexperience has meant periods in and out of the side.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Having spent the past four months showing hes capable of keeping the effects of Crohns disease in check, Bills offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson faces yet another hurdle in attempting to resume his career.Henderson is appealing the NFLs four-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy after testing positive for marijuana, a person with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed to The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the suspension is being appealed and the NFL has not announced its ruling.The person said Hendersons appeal is based on him using marijuana for medicinal purposes to relieve the effects of Crohns disease. Henderson was diagnosed with the inflammatory bowel disease late last year, and has since had two operations on his intestines. The first operation occurred in January, when doctors removed a section of diseased tissue. In April, he had surgery to have his intestine reattached.Several studies have found marijuana can be an effective treatment for people diagnosed with Crohns disease.In New York, the states medical marijuana program specifically lists patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease as being potentially eligible to obtain medical marijuana.ESPN.com first reported Henderson was facing a suspension.NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league has no comment.Coach Rex Ryan would only refer to questions regarding Henderson as a league disciplinary issue, and directed questions to the NFL.Ryan said the team and league provides its players several programs in dealing with substance abuse issues.Guys have to be accountable and understand that its not tolerated, Ryan added.
