England international David Willey has agreed to play in the 2015-16 Big Bash League for the Perth Scorchers.

The 25-year-old, who helped the Northamptonshire Steelbacks to reach the final of the T20 Blast in August, made his ODI and Twenty20 international debuts earlier this year.

"David Willey is an up and coming, hungry, hard-working young player who will hopefully provide with some power hitting in the middle overs," head coach Justin Langer told the club's official website.

"He offers left-arm swing bowling and has showed how well he can do that against the Australians in the one-dayers a few months ago. He's also a gun-fielder and is renowned for his work ethic and character. It's a really good package."

To make the switch, the all-rounder has withdrawn from the England Lions squad that will tour the United Arab Emirates in December.
