WORCESTERSHIRE CCC have signed all-rounder Beyers Swanepoel on a one-year red-ball contract for the 2026 season.
The 27-year-old South African is available for the entirety of Worcestershire’s County Championship Division Two campaign.
Swanepoel joins the Pears following a two-year spell with Kent. He has a high score of 188 not out in First Class cricket and has also recorded seven half-centuries while taking 189 wickets.
The all-rounder adds depth to Worcestershire middle order and also provides an option as a right-arm seam bowler.
Swanepoel said: “I have always enjoyed my time playing in England, and particularly the longer format of the game, so to be offered the opportunity to continue my red-ball journey at Worcestershire was one I was very keen on exploring.
“Championship cricket is tough, but joining a group full of potential and targeting promotion to Division One is an exciting prospect.
“It is a club with really big ambitions, so I can’t wait to get started.”
Head coach, Alan Richardson added: “We are always looking to add to the quality within the group and by bringing in someone with the red-ball experience that Beyers possesses, we feel as though we have done just that.
“He is a very accomplished all-round cricketer and will certainly add to our options with both bat and ball in four-day cricket.
“Everyone at the club is looking forward to welcoming him to Worcestershire.”
