Australia seamer Andrew Tye will return to Gloucestershire for next year's NatWest T20 Blast.
Tye helped Gloucestershire reach the quarter-finals last season, taking 18 wickets in 14 games, and has targeted a first Twenty20 crown for the south-west county.
"I'm delighted to be returning to Gloucestershire again in 2017. It's a great club with a lot of good people and I thoroughly enjoyed last season," he said.
"I'm looking forward to contributing again to the club's T20 campaign and hopefully we can build on last season and go all the way to win the trophy in 2017."
A specialist Twenty20 player, who is noted for his death bowling, Tye helped the Perth Scorchers win the 2014-15 Big Bash League before he was a part of Australia's World T20 squad earlier this year.
The Scorchers will have a presence at the County Ground in Bristol next season, with Gloucestershire also set to field Michael Klinger and Cameron Bancroft from the two-time BBL champions.
