West Australian paceman Nathan Rimmington has moved back to Brisbane, ending his six-year stint at the Warriors.
Rimmington made the switch from Brisbane to Perth in 2011 in a move that helped revive his cricket career.
But the 34-year-old has fallen out of favour this season, playing his last game for WA in November.
The emergence of speedsters Joel Paris, Simon Mackin, Jason Behrendorff and Cameron Green has limited Rimmington's opportunities.
"After six years in Perth, it feels like the right time to go back to Brisbane for my family and with a view to my studies and career," Rimmington said after moving back on Monday to Brisbane.
Rimmington snared 91 wickets at an average of 26.60 for WA. He also scored a memorable century in the 2011-12 season against NSW.
He turned out in 27 one-day matches for WA and took 27 wickets at an average of 40.14, including playing in the triumphant 2014-15 one-day cup final.
"There's no better team man than Nathan Rimmington," WA coach Justin Langer said.
"For his character and personality around the squad, he'll be missed.
"We wish him and his family all the best for their future in Queensland."
Four wins on the trot have catapulted WA back into the race for a spot in the Sheffield Shield final.
The Warriors will aim to continue their hot form when they take on Victoria in Alice Springs, starting on March 8.
