Worcestershire have signed Nottinghamshire spinner Fateh Singh on a three-year deal following his short-term loan for the One-Day Cup in the 2024 season.
Slow left-back Singh, 20, who ended the season with another loan spell at Northamptonshire, is now tied to Worcester until the end of the 2027 season.
“This is a crucial step as we continue to build our squad,” Worcestershire CEO Ashley Giles said.
“Strengthening our spin department was a priority. Fateh showed his potential in the One-Day Cup.”
The former England Under-19 international made his first-class debut when Northants played Yorkshire in the final Division 2 game of the season – but will now be in contention for a game in Division 1 for Worcestershire, who comfortably managed to avoid relegation and in the top division landed position since County Championship cricket moved to a two-tier structure in 2000.
