Fast-bowling all-rounder Corey Flintoff has signed a two-year rookie contract with the Club
Kent Cricket has announced that fast-bowling all-rounder Corey Flintoff has signed a two-year rookie contract with the Club.
The 19-year-old progressed through Lancashire’s age groups and Academy, as well as representing the North at the Bunbury cricket festival in 2021 and featuring for Lancashire’s Second XI this past Summer.
The right-hander, who is the son of English cricketing legend Andrew Flintoff, has been training with Kent’s first-team this week and bowled four overs in Kent’s latest two-day warm-up match with Essex at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence on Friday.
He now joins Kent on a rookie contract that will make him available to play for the county around his University studies for at least the next two seasons.
On joining Kent, Flintoff said: “I’m delighted to be joining Kent to continue my development as a player under Adam Hollioake and the excellent coaching staff here.
“The lads in the dressing room have been so welcoming to me this week and there’s a great atmosphere here. I’m excited for what’s next for me and I know that Kent is the right place for me to make the step up to first-team cricket.”
Kent’s Director of Cricket, Simon Cook, said: “Corey is an extremely exciting young player and has great all-round ability to score runs and take wickets.
“He is a very hard worker and I know that he is extremely determined to make a name for himself in professional cricket. We’re delighted that he feels that he can do this as a Kent cricketer.”
