Hampshire CCC have added another physiotherapist to their staff - Australian Patrick Farhart.
Physio and fitness trainer Farhart, 37, has been employed by the Australian cricket Board for the last four years and was in England last summer with Australia's one-day side.
He will travel home and away with Hampshire this summer, allowing Dave Newman to look after injuries.
Director of cricket Tim Tremlett said: "We're delighted. This means we will have two very good physiotherapists on the staff and shows that we're becoming more professional."
Fahart, who first toured England with the Australian A side in 1995, has worked for the New South Wales Cricket Association since 1990 and will arrive in Hampshire for the start of pre-season training.
