James Anderson has penned a deal with Surrey for the 2027 County Championship season. The latest deal brings an end to his 25-year association with Lancashire, who, last month, decided against extending his contract.
"It's an honour to join a club like Surrey and I can't wait to start a new chapter in my career. Surrey have a great squad and are a team that expects to be fighting for Championship titles and I'm excited to be a part of that,” Anderson said.
I still feel like I have a lot to offer, taking wickets, trying to help the team win games of cricket. I also think that I can bring a lot to the team off the field and help those young players who are looking to develop their skillset and go on and represent their country."
“I’ve always loved playing at the Kia Oval. For me it’s one of the best grounds in the world. It’s a place that I have some incredibly special memories at and I hope to create some more next season,” he added.
Anderson, who retired from international cricket in 2024, claimed 991 wickets for England across all formats.
