Adams returns for another season
The Aces bowling stocks have received a huge boost with the announcement that Andre Adams will return to be the side's overseas professional for much of the coming season.
Adams will be on board from next Tuesday 25 October and will be available until 13 February 2012 which means he will be here for the Aces first four Plunket Shield games, and the entirety of both the HRV Cup and one day campaigns.
Adams will return on the back of another successful season in England with county side Nottinghamshire, being their top wicket taker with 67 wickets which also put him third on the national rankings.
He will be looking to repeat the form that made him the Aces top wicket taker in both their championship successes in the HRV Cup and one day competitions last season.
Aces coach Paul Strang was thrilled at the news that they would be welcoming back Adams.
"After last season we hoped that we'd be able to get Andre back for another go and it's great that he's going to join us for most of the season. He was a huge part of our success last year and his experience and real hunger to win will be invaluable."
Adam's signing comes at a good time for the Aces as they attempt to cover the absence of Daryl Tuffey for the start of the season due to injury.
