Sam Northeast has joined Nottinghamshire on a red ball loan from Hampshire until the end of the season.
The 31-year-old, whose 10,727 career First-Class runs have come at an average of 38.31, will be available for the final four fixtures of the LV= Insurance County Championship season.
“Sam is a proven run scorer and a signing we believe will bolster our chances in red ball cricket during the coming weeks,” said Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket, Mick Newell.
“With Haseeb Hameed in the England team, the opportunity to add Sam’s experience to our batting line-up is something we believe will benefit our side during the remainder of the season.
“He’ll feature in the second team fixture against Derbyshire this week, with a view to preparing for the red ball action to follow with four important games to come.”
Northeast, who began his career at Kent, has posted 25 centuries in 180 career First-Class appearances and last represented England Lions in February 2020.
Nottinghamshire, who secured more points than any other side during the conference stage of the 2021 County Championship, commence the divisional rounds with a fixture at Somerset starting on Monday 30 August.
