All-rounder Wayne White is returning to his home county Derbyshire for a third spell.

White played 11 times for Derbyshire between 2005 and 2008 and has since had spells with Leicestershire and Lancashire.

He returned to the county towards the end of last season, playing in four LV= County Championship fixtures and claiming 11 wickets at an average of 20.81.

The 29-year-old has featured in 76 first-class matches in total, scoring over 2,500 runs with a best of 101 against Derbyshire in 2008, and claiming 166 wickets.

Elite Performance Director Graeme Welch said: "Wayne is a talented home-grown player who has gone away and furthered his experience in county cricket.

"He bowled very well at key times during his loan stint last season and his spell against Surrey was one of the best all season.
