Derbyshire have signed middle-order batter, Matt Lamb, from Warwickshire on a two-year deal.
The 26-year-old scored 487 runs in eight County Championship games this summer, including two centuries.
He also made eight appearances in the One-Day Cup, but his last T20 Blast game was in July 2021.
The right-handed batter also boasts a strong List A record, averaging 42 after 19 appearances, with one century and two half-centuries to his name.
Head of Cricket at Derbyshire, Mickey Arthur, said: “Matt had a strong season in Division One and that’s the calibre of player we want to bring to our Club.
Lamb first joined the Warwickshire pathway programme at under-nine level and went on to make his first-class debut against Somerset in 2016.
“I will be forever grateful and thankful to everybody at the Bears who helped and coached me from an eight-year-old cricket lover to a county champion,”
“I have made friends for life at the Club and will always look forward to returning with Derbyshire.” he added.
