Jan 27 2010 - 13:54:36
Former England bowler Chris Tremlett has signed for Surrey on a three-year deal.
The 28-year-old has joined Surrey from Hampshire to continue a first-class career that has seen him take 289 wickets and play in three Tests, nine one-day internationals and one international Twenty20.
Tremlett will join Jade Dernbach and Andre Nel in the Surrey attack and also the recently-arrived Indian leg-spinner Piyush Chawla.
Surrey's professional cricket manager, Chris Adams, said: "In Chris Tremlett, Surrey have signed a bowler of Test match ability who is just beginning to approach the prime of his career.
"His height, action and pace make him very well suited to bowling at the Brit Oval and I am looking forward to him developing partnerships with our existing pace attack.
"He is joining a very different and highly-motivated Surrey side and I feel we have got somebody that has the right attributes to continue his England career."
Tremlett added: "Coming to Surrey will open an exciting chapter in my career and I am very much looking forward to getting the opportunity to work alongside my new team-mates to help return this great club back to the top of English cricket.
"I would also like to place on the record my sincere thanks to Hampshire. I leave the club with many fond memories of both the players and coaches who have helped me hugely over the past nine years."
