Vikram Banerjee, Kadeer Ali and Steve Adshead have all signed extended contracts with Gloucestershire.
Adshead replace Jack Russell as wicketkeeper and has been a dependable member of the squad, while Kadeer Ali is beginning to settle into the first-class game.
Vikram Banerjee is a highly rated left-arm spinner who has been involved in the ECB's spin bowling programme.
Andrew Gale, the Yorkshire top-order batsman, has signed a new three-year deal with the club. He has had limited first-team chances, but with counties allowed just one overseas player next year is hopeful of more opportunities.
"Hopefully next year I can get a bit more exposure in the County Championship," he said. "With our overseas player being a bowler there is a place up for grabs in the middle order, so I am determined to come back to pre-season fighting fit and full of runs and ready for selection. I know I can fill that spot and do well."
