Lancashire confirm the signing of South African all-rounder Ryan McLaren as their overseas player for 2017.
The 33-year-old played for Hampshire last season and made his reputation in county cricket with Kent where he claimed a hat-trick in the Twenty20 Cup final of 2007.
Mclaren has played two Tests, 12 T20s and 54 one-day internationals for the Proteas, but last appeared for them two years ago. He will be available for the whole season in all formats.

Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles said: "We're thrilled to bring Ryan into our squad for next year. He brings international experience to what is a relatively young, but extremely talented changing room.
"He will certainly add depth to our seam-bowling department but will also give us balance with the bat too. His record in both ODI and first-class cricket is outstanding and we look forward to welcoming him to Emirates Old Trafford."
McLaren added: "I'm delighted to be joining up with Lancashire next year. It's a big club and I can't wait to start working with Ashley Giles and the squad at Emirates Old Trafford.
"I'm looking forward to being a part of the squad in all competitions and hopefully win some more silverware for the club."
