Dutchman Nicky Pastorelli will be Midland's official test and Friday driver next season, the Formula One team announced on Monday.
The 22-year-old was already a test driver this year for Jordan, who were rebranded as Midland this year.
Midland, owned by Russian-born Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider, have yet to name their race drivers for 2006.
Indian Narain Karthikeyan and Portugal's Tiago Monteiro drove for Jordan this year.
