Yorkshire have signed Northants and England all-rounder David Willey on a three-year deal.
The 25-year-old will join the White Rose club for the start of next season.
Willey, who has played five limited-overs games for the national team, took a hat-trick to help Northants win the FLt20 trophy in 2013 and has also claimed 148 first-class wickets.
"I'm looking forward to working with Jason Gillespie and the rest of the lads," he told the county website.

The rich get richer. Willey is an extremely exciting cricketer, especially in the shorter formats of the game, though I am not sure he has what it takes to make the step up to Test cricket. He is joining a fantastic setup though, which can only help with his development.

Willey has been given permission to miss the Lions tour of the UAE in December so that he can play with the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash Twenty20 tournament. Allowing Willey to play with some of the games best T20 players is a positive move by the ICC. If England are to do anything in the Twenty20 World Cup, the players need to be playing against the best players in big games and high pressure environments.
