The Aces bowling stocks have received a huge boost with the announcement that former Black Cap Andre Adams will return to be the side's overseas professional for much of the coming season.
Adams, now based in the UK, will be on board from next Tuesday and available until February 13, 2012, making him available for the Aces' first four Plunket Shield games, and the full HRV Cup and one day-campaigns.
Adams will return after another successful season with English county side Nottinghamshire. He was their top wicket taker with 67 wickets which put him third on the national rankings.
He will be looking to repeat the form that made him the Aces' top wicket taker as they won the HRV and one-day competitions last season.
Aces coach Paul Strang was thrilled by the signing.
"After last season we hoped that we'd be able to get Andre back for another go and it's great that he's going to join us for most of the season. He was a huge part of our success last year and his experience and real hunger to win will be invaluable.''
Adams' arrival comes at a good time for the Aces as they attempt to cover the absence of Daryl Tuffey for the start of the season due to injury.
