South Africa pace bowler Marchant de Lange is still in discussions with Glamorgan about joining the county side on a Kolpak deal.
Earlier this month, Knights CEO Johan van Heerden said that he was confident De Lange would not be tempted to sign a Kolpak deal as he believed he still had a future when it came to international cricket.
But, Glamorgan chief executive Hugh Morris insisted that talks are still ongoing with the 26-year-old.
“When we do get gaps or our resources are limited, we want to make sure there’s as much competition in the side as possible,” he told the county side’s official website. “We’ve identified a need for a fast bowler and we’re actively speaking to one or two options.
“We’ve had conversations with Marchant’s agents and those are ongoing.”
Should a deal materialise, De Lange will become the latest Proteas player to sign a Kolpak deal as Kyle Abbott, Rilee Rossouw and David Wiese have already done so.
Abbott and Rossouw joined Hampshire, while Wiese inked a deal with Sussex.
