Leicestershire have signed Middlesex all-rounder Neil Dexter on a three-year deal.
The 31-year-old averages 32 with the bat and 27 with the ball in Division One this season, with his all-round contribution of a century and three wickets inspiring Middlesex to victory over Durham in August.
Dexter, who has previously played for Kent and Essex, will link up with Division Two strugglers Leicestershire before the start of next season.
Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan MBE said: "With a number of sides interested in securing Neil, we are delighted that he has decided to join us.
"He will give us both quality and experience with his proven track record in county cricket.
"Neil has been in very good form for Middlesex and has captaincy experience in county cricket. As well as being a fine middle-order batsman, Neil is also a good bowler and fielder who can fit into our side in all three formats."
The former Middlesex skipper moved to Middlesex from Essex in 2009 and has racked up 5,977 first-class runs since his debut for Kent in 2005.
