Franklin is expected to make his debut on Sunday
|
Kiwi signing James Franklin finally signed his Glamorgan contract after passing a medical on Thursday.
The Welsh county were keen to check out ligament damage in the all-rounder's knee, which was initially thought to have ended his season.
Franklin, 25, should now play in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy game away to Gloucestershire on 28 May.
But Glamorgan's other overseas player, Mark Cosgrove, could be doubtful after hurting his back at Worcestershire.
The burly Australian left-hander retired hurt early in Glamorgan's second innings of their County Championship tie.
Glamorgan have pledged to keep a careful eye on Franklin's problem knee over the season.
"It's been a bit of a turnaround after thinking I was going to have surgery and stay in New Zealand," Franklin said.
"But now I'm ready to play the rest of the County Championship season.
"[Glamorgan physio] Chris Towers has had a good look at the knee and he is pretty happy with it.
