He was recommended by Tom Moody, the former Worcestershire coach, who is now in charge at Western Australia and has so far taken 29 wickets at 23 in the Pura Cup this season.
"Steve is a tall and lively 'hit the deck' bowler who has excellent control," said Steve Rhodes, Worcestershire's director of cricket. "This will make him a tough opponent to face on the early season English wickets. He is highly recommended by Tom Moody and we are delighted to give him an opportunity to make a name for himself in England."
Magoffin said: "I am delighted to be joining Worcestershire at the start of the season. Tom Moody, speaks very highly of the club, the squad and the set up at New Road and I can't wait to join up with Steve Rhodes, Vikram Solanki and the rest of the team.
"I am very eager to pull on the shirt for Worcestershire and get the ball in my hand for the season opener against Warwickshire".
Magoffin will join the club in April and will stay until June 9, when West Indies fast bowler Fidel Edwards arrives for the second-half of the season.
