Sussex have signed batsman Laurie Evans from Warwickshire on a three-year contract.
The 29-year-old was released from the final year of his deal at Edgbaston to make the switch to Hove, having started his career with Surrey.
Evans has almost 3,000 first-class runs to his name and top-scored for the Bears with 53 in the final as they won the T20 Blast in 2014.
"I'm really happy to be joining Sussex for the next three years in hopefully what will be a really successful time for the club," said Evans, who won all three domestic titles during his time with Warwickshire including this year's One-Day Cup.
"Sussex have got an exciting group of players and I can't wait to get going in the New Year.
"I'd like to thank Warwickshire for enabling this move to happen, and for all their support during my time at Edgbaston."
Sussex's head coach Mark Davis added: "We are thrilled to have Laurie joining us at Sussex. He is a player of great ability who plays in all formats of the game and is a brilliant acquisition for the club.
"I believe that Laurie's best years are in front of him and he is ready and driven to achieve his undoubted potential."
