Abbott played for the club in 2021, 2023 and 2024, picking up a County Championship winners medal in those last two campaigns. He re-joins Surrey after they missed out on four-in-a-row as Nottinghamshire took the title last season.
The 34-year old has 58 white ball caps for Australia, split evenly between ODIs and T20Is, with 79 wickets across both formats. He is currently sitting on 49 first class dismissals for Surrey at 25.73, and a handy 614 runs at 38.37.
“The opportunity to rejoin Surrey for the 2026 season was a no brainer for me,” said Abbott in a statement released by Surrey. “The club has become a real home away from home. The dressing room environment is one of the best I’ve experienced in my career and I’m looking forward to linking up with the group once more.
“I can’t wait to walk out at the Kia Oval wearing the Three Feathers once again and help push the group for more success this summer.”
Director of men’s cricket Alec Stewart added: “We look forward to Sean rejoining us back at the Kia Oval. His qualities as a cricketer speak for themselves and I have no doubts he will fit straight back into the dressing room.”
