County champions Surrey have signed Yorkshire fast bowler Matthew Fisher for the 2025 season.
The White Rose announced in August that the 26-year-old would leave the club at the end of the season.
Fisher took 144 first-class wickets in 44 matches for Yorkshire, at an average of 26.58.
He made his England Test debut against West Indies in 2022, bowling six maidens in 27 overs and taking one wicket.
This season, Fisher took 27 wickets in seven matches to help Yorkshire earn promotion back to County Championship Division One.
"I've always looked to strengthen our squad straight after we've won the Championship so bringing in a player of Matt's ability and experience made perfect sense," Surrey's director of men's cricket Alec Stewart
"With Conor McKerr leaving the club and the expected England call-ups next summer it's important we maintain a quality bowling group."
Fisher was a regular in all three formats of the game for Yorkshire, taking 27 wickets in 27 List A matches plus 45 wickets in 42 T20 Blast appearances.
