Marchant de Lange: Glamorgan sign South Africa paceman on three-year deal

Glamorgan have signed South Africa fast bowler Marchant de Lange, 26, on a three-year contract.

He has been granted a UK visa because his wife holds a British passport.

"He's got a bit of X-factor, he's a match-winner," said Glamorgan head coach Robert Croft. "He's got pace, and he's got aggression."

De Lange has played in two Tests, four one-day internationals and six T20 internationals, claiming a total of 26 wickets for his country.

However, by joining Glamorgan as a non-overseas player, he has ended his international career with the Proteas for the time being. If he were to return to the national side, he would need to give up his county deal - or re-register as an overseas player.
