Fast bowler Nathan Buck has decided to join Northamptonshire on a three-year deal after leaving Lancashire at the end of the 2016 season.
The former Leicestershire seamer joined Lancashire in September 2014, but he spent most of his first full season with the club on the sidelines due to injury. Buck, 25, took 12 wickets in the NatWest T20 Blast for the Red Rose county this summer at an average of 17.17 and he played a key part in both one-day competitions.
However, with one year left on his contract, Buck and Lancashire have mutually agreed to part company. Head Coach and Director of Cricket, Ashley Giles, said: "I would like to thank Nathan for his efforts over the past two years and wish him well for the future."
Buck featured in three County Championship matches this season, but only managed to take two wickets at an average of 105.00, as Lancashire narrowly avoided relegation from Division One. His performances in the One-Day Cup were much more impressive, with his eight scalps in the 50-over contest coming at 26.75.
