Maddy moves to Edgbaston for the 2007 season after 13 seasons with Leicestershire.

"He has great experience, is a mutli-skilled cricketer and he's a winner. We feel he will add value to our current squad."

"It will be a great move for me," Maddy said. "After a long and happy association with Leicestershire I feel the time is right for me to take on a new challenge.

"I look forward to proving myself in a new environment at a big club."

Maddy will be joining the England 6 a-side squad for the Hong Kong tournament on November 11-12.
