Promoted Yorkshire have further strengthened their pace bowling options by signing Liam Plunkett from Durham.

The 27-year-old has agreed a three-year deal to follow former Northamptonshire seamer Jack Brooks in joining the Tykes ahead of their return to LV= County Championship Division One next season.

Plunkett has played nine Tests, 21 one-day internationals - the last of which came in February 2011 against Australia - and one Twenty 20 international for England and will be reunited at Headingley Carnegie with his former Durham head coach Martyn Moxon, who is now Yorkshire’s director of cricket.

Seamer Liam Plunkett believes Yorkshire will boast the "best bowling attack in the country" next summer following his arrival from Durham

Plunkett said: “I am delighted to be joining Yorkshire for next season. I felt the time was right for a new challenge in my career and the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the country was too good to turn down.

“The club has had a strong 2012 and I believe adding myself and Jack Brooks to the current squad will give us the best bowling attack in the country and will help propel us towards silverware in 2013.”

Moxon added: “I know Liam well from my time in Durham and he brings experience and quality to the Yorkshire side as we head back to the first division of the LV= County Championship.

“He is still only 27 and I'm sure Yorkshire can further assist his development and help him achieve his ambitions within the game. I look forward to working with him again.”

Durham head coach Geoff Cook said: "On behalf of everybody at the club, I would like to wish Liam all the very best for the future.

"I would also like to thank him for not only how he represented the club, but also what he has achieved, which has put Durham on the international cricket map.”
