Irish wicket-keeper Niall O'Brien has completed a move to Northants for the forthcoming season.
O'Brien, who was released by Kent last year, has signed a one-year deal to provide cover for Riki Wessels.
He will arrive after playing for Ireland in the World Cup but becomes English-qualified later this year.
Head coach David Capel said: "After much consideration and searching I am
pleased that we have settled on selecting Niall."
Northants have also signed left-arm seamer David Lucas, who has had spells with Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, to a three-month deal.
"David's left arm style of bowling will add the necessary variety to our squad of seam bowlers that we require," Capel added.
