Experienced South African spinner joins Derbyshire

Derbyshire have completed the signing South African spinner Robin Peterson on a Kolpak contract from Cape Cobras. The 30-year-old Peterson, capped 11 times by South Africa has taken 14 Test wickets for his country and has proved a useful asset with both bat and ball, will join Derbyshire in time for the 2010 season. Derbyshire's head of cricket John Morris said: "We are delighted and excited by the capture of Robin, who is an all-rounder of international quality and plenty of experience. "Good quality spin bowlers are a valuable commodity in the modern game, as are explosive batsmen. Robin brings both of those attributes to the party and I am thoroughly looking forward to working with him in 2010."
