Rana Naved-ul-Hasan will be Yorkshire's overseas player for 2008 after passing a pre-season fitness test.
Pakistan's Rana was given until the end of January to show significant recovery from a shoulder injury incurred during Sussex's push for the Championship title last summer.
"I am relieved that this period of uncertainty is now over and I can become a Yorkshire player in 2008," said Rana. "I am pleased with my progress and feel in good shape."
Rana, 29, will join up with his Headingley colleagues at the start of April on the back of medical advice that he should not push his comeback from injury too early.
"We are delighted with Rana's progress," said Yorkshire chief executive Stewart Regan.
