County ins & outs 2013 - signings, departures and rumours

All the signings, moves and news from every county in the build-up to and during the 2013 season.

Counties are allowed to field two overseas players in Twenty20 games, with up to four registered for that competition - although only two can be registered at any one time, and registrations must be for a minimum of 10 days.

Only one overseas player is permitted in the County Championship and Yorkshire Bank 40 league.

Kolpak contracts are signed by foreign players, using a loophole in European Union law to avoid counting against the quota of one overseas player per club.

Players who moved counties during the 2012 season are included on the 2012 list. Have we missed anyone? Please let us know.
