New Zealand batsman Tim Robinson has returned to Northamptonshire for their Metro Bank One-Day Cup campaign and the rest of the County Championship season.
The 23-year-old played for the county earlier in the season but his contract expired last month, when he left to feature for his country in a T20 tri-series against Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Robinson hit an unbeaten 75 for the Kiwis in one of the two games in which he featured, boosting his New Zealand T20 average to 27.80.
The hard-hitting right-hander is back in time to play in the One-Day Cup opener against Lancashire on Tuesday 5 August, at Sedbergh School.
He scored 55 in his last County Championship outing for Northants, against Kent in June, but flopped with the bat in the three T20 Vitality Blast games in which he played, scoring 9, 9 and 0.
