Northamptonshire have signed Australian pace bowler Harry Conway on a short-term contract for four County Championship games.

The 32-year-old has taken 119 first-class wickets at an average of 28.86, eight of them in three games for South Australia in this winter's Sheffield Shield.

He will be available for the Division Two fixtures against Leicestershire, Lancashire, Glamorgan and Gloucestershire, all in May.

"Harry perfectly fits the mould of English conditions and will hopefully help us get off to a positive start," said Northants head coach Darren Lehmann.
