Ben Sanderson, the seam bowler who has been a consistent wicket-taker for Shropshire in recent seasons, has sealed a return to the first-class game by this week signing a two-year contract with Northamptonshire.
Sanderson, 27, joined Shropshire in 2013 after being released by Yorkshire and became a key man with the ball for the county in the Unicorns Championship and Unicorns Trophy.
He played four first-class matches for Northants last summer, including facing the Australian tourists, and impressed enough to be offered a deal at Wantage Road .
Sanderson took 17 wickets in three Championship matches for Shropshire last season ahead of the interest from Northants.
