Denly signs new Kent deal
Joe Denly has pledged his
immediate future to Kent by agreeing a contract
extension.
The 23-year-old England batsman is now committed to the club
until the end of the 2011.
Denly said: "My heart is with Kent so I'm delighted to sign. I
love the club, the fans and the county so I could never say no to
staying here."
Jamie Clifford, acting chief executive, said: "Joe is a
cricketer with a bright future and I am delighted that he has
chosen to continue his career here at Kent.
"We have all enjoyed watching his progress from Kent Young
Cricketer to England international."
Denly, who made his England one-day debut against Ireland in
August last year, is the 11th player to extend his stay at St
Lawrence since the end of last season.
Clifford added: "With most of our senior players now under
long-term contracts, this is an exciting time to be a supporter of
Kent cricket."
