South Africa all-rounder Wayne Parnell has signed a short-term deal to join Kent for the third time.
Parnell had two spells with the county in 2009 and will be available for Specsavers County Championship and Royal London One-Day Cup until required for international duty.
The 27-year-old has only played five Tests for South Africa but is a more of a regular member of their limited overs squad and has made a total of 100 appearances in one-day and Twenty20 internationals.
He said: "I really enjoyed my time at Kent in 2009 when we won Division Two and reached the T20 Finals Day.
"I learned a lot from the experience and I hope to help the side continue their strong start in the County Championship and get off to a flyer in the One Day Cup.
"I look forward to working with Matt Walker, Jason Gillespie and the boys."
South Africa kick off their summer in England on May 19 against Sussex and play three one-dayers against England from May 24.
They then play in the ICC Champions Trophy and face England in three Twenty20 internationals and four Tests, which conclude on August 8.
