Northamptonshire have signed New Zealand international Tim Robinson on a short-term deal.
The 23-year-old batter joins the County Championship side as Matt Breetzke's replacement after the South Africa international was called up for the Proteas' upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe.
Northamptonshire head coach Darren Lehmann described it as "a real like-for-like replacement".
Robinson will be available for four T20 Blast fixtures in July as well as two County Championship matches, starting with their meeting with Middlesex on Sunday.
"He's a strong young man; he hits the ball big and opens the batting in white ball," Lehmann told the club website.
"He looks like a really good player, so fingers crossed he gets some runs for us and plays well across both formats."
