Middlesex have signed South African seamer Dane Paterson for the first seven matches of the 2025 County Championship.
The 35-year-old has been capped 19 times by South Africa across all formats, taking 38 wickets, and most recently appeared in the Test win against Pakistan in December, where he took career-best Test figures of five for 61.
Between 2021 and 2024, Paterson had spells with Nottinghamshire, making 45 appearances for the club and taking 180 wickets at an average of 23.25.
“We are really pleased to get this signing secured as Dane is a player that will bring an enormous amount of quality to our pace attack and is someone that can make a real impact for us in the first half of the season,” said Middlesex director of cricket Alan Coleman.
“He has proven throughout the four-years he spent with Nottinghamshire that he has all the attributes needed to succeed in English conditions, and he brings with him a wealth of experience, built up over many years on both the domestic and international stages.”
Paterson joins New Zealand batter Kane Williamson and Ireland bowler Josh Little in signing for the county for this campaign in recent weeks.
