Northants won one and lost two of the games played by Chris Tremain in 2023
Northamptonshire have re-signed pace bowler Chris Tremain for the start of the 2024 County Championship.
The 32-year-old Australian will be available for the first four rounds of games, but cannot stay longer because of visa restrictions.
Tremain is the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing Sheffield Shield with 34 victims at an average of just 15 each.
"I enjoyed every moment I spent with the group last season," he told the Northamptonshire website.
"I hope I can make an impact for the time I'm there and help set the tone for the remainder of the County Championship."
Tremain took 13 wickets in three games for Northants in early 2023 but the club were eventually relegated from Division One.
Head coach John Sadler said: "His style of bowling is very well suited to English conditions so to have him locked in for those first four games is fantastic.
"He was only with us for a short stint last season but made a huge impact at the club on and off the field."
Northants will begin the new season with a game against Sussex at Hove, starting on 5 April.
They have also re-signed India batter Prithvi Shaw for part of next season - he will be available from June onwards.
