Kent have confirmed that Australian fast bowler Wes Agar will return to the county on an all-format deal in 2025.

He has represented the Canterbury outfit in 16 matches so far, amassing 40 wickets between T20 and first-class cricket, since first playing for them in 2023.

He's heading back to Australia early after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Vitality County Championship game against Worcestershire.

The 2025 deal will see Agar join up with Kent again next April, until the end of July, subject to regulatory approval.

Upon the announcement, Agar said: "I'm thrilled to be coming back to my 'home away from home' next year.

"I feel fully part of the Kent cricket family now - it's a great club full of great people on and off the field and the decision to sign on again for another English Summer was an easy one to make. I can't wait to pull on that Kent shirt again and perform in front of our Members and supporters in 2025.

"I'm gutted to be leaving the lads early this time, and I've absolutely loved my time in Canterbury this year. See you all in April"

Kent's Director of Cricket, Simon Cook added: "Wes is a talented multi-format cricketer and a popular member of our dressing room - we're extremely pleased that he will be joining us again next summer.

"His ethos and work ethic is great to have around the place, and we're looking forward to him being an important part of our attack at the front end of our 2025 season.

"It's sad to see him leave early with his shoulder injury, but we know that he will come back with the same enthusiasm to perform at his best in a Kent shirt next year."
