Sam Northeast is set to stay at Kent after signing a long-term contract extension at the club.
The 25-year-old Ashford-born batsman is the top scorer in the county in the NatWest T20 Blast with 520 runs in nine matches and has scored 672 runs in the County Championship, at an average of 44.8.
“I am delighted to commit my future to the club,” Northeast told the Kent website.
“I’m Kent born and bred and it’s such an exciting time for Kent Cricket with the group of players we have and the talent coming through from our academy.
“I’ve really enjoyed my cricket and the challenge of captaincy this summer so there was never any thought of going elsewhere.
“With our return to a new-look county ground, Beckenham and the continuing redevelopment of The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence, the future is bright at Kent and I want to be a part of that.”
