Austrian road and time trial champion Martina Ritter will join Wiggle High5 in 2018, according to a team press release.
The 35-year-old, ninth overall at the Amgen Women's Race in June, spent the 2017 season with Drops Cycling.
"I'm very excited to welcome Martina to Wiggle High5," said team manager Rochelle Gilmore. "It's a super exciting signing for our team. Wiggle High5 has been searching a strong, reliable and experienced rider to support our General Classification ambitions.

"Martina has a reputation for being very consistent and committed to her roles within a team, she's a rider we really needed to compliment our already strong line-up."
The veteran will look to put her all-rounder skillset to work across the spectrum of racing next season.
"I'm a good climber and time triallist and love stage races," Ritter said. "My favourite races are the Ardennes Classics and hilly stage races as the Giro d'Italia or Tour of California. I want to help our leaders to achieve big results because there is nothing better than winning as a team. One big goal will also be the World Championship in my home country."
