The 30-year-old will join the county at the start of the 2022 season after bringing to an end his commitments to South Australia in the 2021-22 Sheffield Shield competition.

As a British passport-holder, Worrall will not be counted as an overseas player and boasts 222 first-class wickets at a bowling average of 27.33.

Worrall has made three one-day international appearances for Australia and is no stranger to county cricket, having played in two spells for Gloucestershire.

"A professional ambition I have always held is to test myself as a cricketer in the UK, complementing my personal desire to live internationally," Worrall said.

"Surrey CCC has extended an offer for me to play as a UK local player once my contract finishes in Adelaide at the end of the coming season.

"I have proudly accepted and am honoured to play for the most prestigious club in the UK.

"I eagerly look forward to contributing to an already outstanding club history and fulfil my ambitions as an English cricketer in the second phase of my career."
