Nottinghamshire have signed Australian all-rounder Dan Christian for next season's NatWest T20 Blast.
Christian averaged 41 with a strike rate of 159.51 as the Outlaws won nine matches in a row last season.
He will be available for the whole campaign as one of Notts' two overseas players.
"Dan is an explosive player who hits the ball miles and played really well for us last year," said Nottinghamshire head coach Peter Moores.
"He's also been around the T20 scene and around cricket for a long time. He brings all that experience to us, as well as a real calmness under pressure."
"Anybody who has met Dan will know he's a brilliant team man," added Moores. "He's a great character to have around and that competitive nature that you find in a lot of Australians is certainly in him.
"He gives everything and expects the same from his team-mates. He likes to get on the front foot, to be aggressive and to play attacking cricket, which is exactly what we want in that form of the game."
