The 23-year-old attacking batsman from Victoria made his first class debut against a visiting Indian team in 2007.
A former Australia under-19 player, Finch has the experience of playing in India, having represented Victoria Bushrangers in the inaugural Champions League in October last year.
Speaking on the selection of Finch, the CEO of the franchise Sean Morris said the youngster was a good addition to the team led by another Victorian, spin legend Shane Warne.
“Aaron is a sensational young player and he fits Royals’ values of promoting and selecting young talent. He brings with him power and promise, and we envisage him learning a lot from his experience with us and from our senior players. We are delighted to have him on board,” he said.
