Originally from Port Elizabeth, Ingram scored a century on his ODI debut and during the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy he notched 75 as South Africa beat West Indies in Cardiff to take his team through to the semi-finals.

“I’m delighted to be joining Glamorgan,” said Ingram. “I had my first taste of playing county cricket with Somerset last July and I enjoyed it.

“I’ve spoken to Jacques Rudolph about the Club and I’m looking forward to the challenge and to playing with my new team mates.”

Ingram is an aggressive top-order batsman who has played 31 One-Day Internationals for South Africa, with his last appearance just over a year ago in the ODI Series against Pakistan in Dubai.

The left-handed batsman averages over 40 in 50-over cricket and is also captain of the Warriors in South Africa, so brings leadership qualities to the Welsh county as well as his international experience.

Hugh Morris said: “Signing a player of Colin Ingram’s undoubted calibre and experience is a great boost as we continue our preparations ahead of the new season. Our strategy is to develop a team with a strong Welsh identity, but we have always said that we need pillars of experienced players in key positions to supplement our home-grown talent by recruiting from outside our borders.

“Colin is an outstanding talent and aged 29 is in the prime of his career. Anyone in Cardiff, who saw his innings against the West Indies last year in the Champions Trophy couldn’t help be impressed. I look forward to welcoming Colin to Glamorgan.”

Ingram will join up with his new team-mates in March ahead of the new season.
