“I have still got a strong desire to continuing playing at the top level and to win, so hopefully I can pass on a bit of my experience to the young players who are coming through.
“I know quite a few of the players well, so I can’t wait to move down and get cracking,” he added.
Notably, the 35-year-old has enjoyed a 19-year career in cricket till date and played a crucial role in the Yorkshire side that was successful in clinching back to back County Championships in the 2014 and 2015 seasons.
He was part of the England sides that clinched the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean in 2010 and that reached the summit of the ICC Test World Rankings in 2011. He was also part of England’s 2010-11 team that won the Ashes in Australia for the first time in 24 years and that also retained the urn on home conditions in 2013.
“With multiple trophies to his name, Tim is a winner and he knows exactly what it takes to perform and to ultimately succeed at the highest level,” Sport Director Paul Farbrace said.
“He has vast experience of bowling in the powerplays and of closing out games with the ball and bat in both white-ball formats. In first-class cricket, he has the ability to bowl long and challenging spells and also produce game-changing innings,” he added.
