Yorkshire have signed New Zealand fast bowler Neil Wagner for the first 10 league games of the 2023 season.
The 36-year-old left-hand man has won 246 wickets in 59 Tests and 795 in all first-class cricket.
He has previous county experience in Northamptonshire, Lancashire and Essex.
“His first-class cricketing record is phenomenal, and the impact he has had on New Zealand Test cricket has been huge,” said Yorkshire chief executive Darren Gough.
“We are fortunate to have some great bowlers to choose from within our ranks and we believe that with the addition of Neil we have the bowlers to play any team.”
The White Rose club will play in Division Two next summer, having been relegated on the last day of the 2022 season after winning just one of their 14 matches.
They will be at home for their opener, against Leicestershire, which kicks off on April 6.
“I feel like I can offer a lot to the team with my experience, my attitude and my skills, so I can’t wait to start,” Wagner said.
“I want to play an important role in helping the team move up into Division One.”
