“Keith’s high level of skill, experience and winning personality is exactly what this team needs right now.”
During his career, Dudgeon took 281 first-class wickets at an average of 26.96.
Dudgeon added: “County cricket has been a goal for a long time and I’m grateful for the support Sussex have given me.
“From everything I’ve been told, there’s a great group of guys in the dressing room and I’m looking forward to joining them, bringing good energy and contributing to the team as much as I can.”
