Kent have re-signed Australian bowler Wes Agar for the majority of the 2024 season.
The 26-year-old will be available for the county across all formats until the end of July.
This will include Kent's opening 10 Division One County Championship fixtures and the group stage of the Vitality Blast.
The right-arm seamer played for the Canterbury-based side last year, originally agreeing to a four-match deal lasting until May, before extending his stay until the end of July.
During his first spell in the south-east, Agar took 21 County Championship wickets in just six matches, finishing as Kent's joint-leading wicket taker, alongside Matt Quinn.
His best red-ball figures came in his last outing as a Kent player, claiming 5 for 63 against Northamptonshire as part of his side's crushing win by an innings and 15 runs in June.
That victory turned out to be crucial to Kent's survival in the first division, as they finished eighth. The Australian international, who played two ODIs for his country in 2021, also featured in five T20 matches last term, picking up seven scalps.

"I'm so stoked to be coming back to Kent again in 2024," said Agar. "I absolutely loved being a part of the squad in 2023, Kent Cricket is such a special club and I'm really excited to be coming back for the new season. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again and getting started with the lads in April."
Simon Cook, Kent's new director of cricket, added: "We're delighted to have Wes with us again for a big part of our season in 2024.
"He was a big addition to our squad this past season, contributing across two formats, as well as becoming a big part of the dressing room."
