Former England bowler James Anderson has signed for Surrey after leaving Lancashire, BBC News and Sky Sports reported. The 44-year-old was not offered a new contract by Lancashire, where he began his professional career 25 years ago. The BBC, Sky Sports, and the Daily Mail all reported on his move to the London-based county. [1][2][3][4]

The BBC reported that Anderson attracted interest from multiple clubs before agreeing to move to Surrey, who play at The Oval. Surrey confirmed that the agreement is for the 2027 Rothesay County Championship season. BBC News added that it is understood Anderson could continue playing beyond next year, extending his career past his 45th birthday. [1][3]

Anderson is England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, BBC News reported. Speaking on an episode of his Tailenders podcast, Anderson said he was properly buzzing for the opportunity after previously thinking he might not play cricket again. [1]

Surrey is a ceremonial county located in South East England. Anderson moves to the county after two decades representing Lancashire in domestic cricket. [1][7]
