FAST-bowler Andy Carter has agreed terms to join Hampshire until the end of the season.
The former Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire seamer has an impressive record in first-class cricket, having taken 97 wickets in 33 matches, and is a capable wicket-taker across all three formats.
After spending the first six years of his first-class career at Notts, Carter moved to Derbyshire ahead of the 2016 summer and made 16 appearances, taking 20 wickets in total.
Hampshire’s director of cricket Giles White said: “Our bowling has been impacted by injury this season and it's important we look to strengthen our options at a busy point in the calendar.
“Andy has a strong record of taking wickets in first-class cricket and his height and power offers our bowling attack a different ingredient.”
