Tom Barber has agreed a one-year contract with Nottinghamshire for the 2020 county summer.

Seamer Barber left Middlesex at the end of the last campaign and had been on trial at Trent Bridge during the early weeks of pre-season training.

He joins Haseeb Hameed, Peter Trego and Mohammad Abbas as new signings for Notts ahead of the new term.

“We’ve had the chance to take an extended look at Tom, and he’s fully earned his opportunity as part of our setup,” head coach Peter Moores said.

“His left-arm angle offers something different to our bowling attack and he bowls with genuine pace as well, which is an asset to any squad.

“He’s quickly gelled with the rest of the lads and has brought a work ethic that demonstrates his determination to make it in the professional game.

Former England under-19 international Barber said: “I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in.

“Since I started training with the guys before Christmas, everyone has been really welcoming, and it’s going to be great to work with the likes of Paul Franks and Mooresy – as well as picking up with Shiney again.

“Trent Bridge is a really special place – it’s a Test ground, and plenty of great matches and performances have happened here, so I’m excited to hopefully get out there for Notts this summer.”
