Kent Cricket is delighted to announce that former Club Captain Sam Northeast will come home to Kent and re-join the county from Glamorgan at the start of the 2026 season, on a two-year contract with option of a third.

The 35-year-old made his Kent debut in 2007 after graduating from the Kent Cricket Academy, and went on to make over 300 appearances for the county over ten seasons, scoring over 13,500 runs in all-formats including 24 centuries.

The Ashford-born right-hander is one of seven Kent cricketers to have scored a century for the county in all formats in the Club’s history.

He was appointed Club Captain in 2015 and in total skippered Kent on 134 occasions, averaging 44.79 with the bat whilst leading the side.

He left the Club to join Hampshire in February 2018, and now will return home to Kent eight years later.
