James Logan signs extended contract with Kent

Left-arm spinner James Logan has signed a two-year contract with Kent, having initially joined on a short-term deal at the start of the T20 Blast.

The 23-year-old, who came through Yorkshire’s academy, has also played in the Royal London Cup since making his T20 debut against Hampshire in June.

In his maiden County Championship appearance for the county against Lancashire – he had previously turned out for Yorkshire in 2018 – Logan claimed three wickets in a draw.

Logan said: “I’m extremely grateful to Kent for giving me a chance to play competitive first-team cricket, and to now sign a two-year deal here is fantastic. I’ve felt at home here since the day I arrived – and I’m now looking forward to two more seasons as a Kent player.”

Kent’s director of cricket, Paul Downton, added: “James has settled in well since joining us on trial and really grabbed the opportunities presented to him across all formats.

“James has bowled with good control in pressure situations and shown an excellent temperament for a young spinner. We’re looking forward to helping him progress further as he continues to hone his craft as a Kent player.”
