Dirk Nannes is to rejoin Surrey for the 2012 Friends Life t20, the club have announced.

The 35-year-old fast bowler, who remains the leading wicket-taker in the game’s shortest form, enjoyed a successful stint at the Kia Oval last summer, picking up 19 wickets at an average of 20.05 after signing exclusively for the FLt20.

He has now agreed to return for this year’s competition and will partner spinner Murali Kartik as Surrey’s second overseas signing.

Team director Chris Adams said: “As we saw last season in the shortest form of the game, Dirk is still one of the most consistently dangerous and economical bowlers on the world scene.

“He did a fantastic job for us and I can speak for the whole club when I say we are delighted to welcome him back for another spell.”
