Glamorgan have confirmed the signing of South Africa seamer Wayne Parnell for this season's NatWest T20 Blast.
The 25-year-old has agreed terms with the Welsh county and is awaiting international clearance to line up in T20 opener against Surrey at the Kia Oval on May 15.
"I'm very excited about the prospects of joining up with Jacques Rudolph and Colin Ingram and playing for Glamorgan,” said Parnell.
"T20 cricket has been a strength for Glamorgan and I'm keen to contribute to a successful campaign.”
Glamorgan Cricket chief executive Hugh Morris said: "We are delighted to have secured the services of Wayne Parnell, who was earmarked at a young age as one of South Africa's brightest talents and who is a naturally gifted all-rounder.
"He will give us a wicket-taking threat and also the potential for valuable runs. Even more importantly, Wayne is available to us for the vast majority of our NatWestT20 Blast group games and we will re-visit discussions around a potential extension as the competition unfolds."
Parnell has previously played T20 cricket for Kent Spitfires and Sussex Sharks.
