Josh Cobb struggled for runs in the 2023 T20 Blast but has a strike-rate of more than 133 in the shortest county format
Worcestershire have signed all-rounder Josh Cobb on a white-ball deal for the 2024 season.
The 33-year-old left Northamptonshire earlier this month after playing more than 200 games for the club.
Cobb was named man of the match for the Steelbacks after scoring 80 when they won the T20 Blast in 2016.
"The club has always been a well-drilled white-ball unit, and I hope to bring my A game to New Road and assist in challenging for trophies," he said.
"I would like to thank [chief executive] Ashley Giles for giving me this fresh opportunity to once again do what I love - play exciting cricket and win trophies."
Cobb, who began his career at Leicestershire, has scored almost 4,000 T20 runs and 3,330 in List A cricket, including seven centuries.
He has captained Welsh Fire in The Hundred and also played T20 games in Bangladesh.
"Josh's experience and skills align perfectly with our plans for the upcoming season," said Giles.
"He's a highly experienced white-ball cricketer, who's tasted regular success. He will fit into the dressing room well, and will really add to the group."
Cobb follows another former Northamptonshire player, Tom Taylor, to New Road for the new season.
