The 25-year-old has played nine matches for the Renegades over the past two seasons and claimed 15 wickets at 17.33.

"It’s going to be an exciting season for our fans with Gayle and Finchy in the top order,” Pattinson said. 

“We have a good squad together with my Victorian teammate Cameron White also joining so we will definitely be looking at a finals position."

The Renegades will start their BBL campaign against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba on December 19.
