Kent have announced Jack Leaning has signed a new contract extension and been named the club’s new vice-captain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Leaning, 30, will stay with the Canterbury-based side until at least the end of the 2026 season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The former Yorkshire batting all-rounder joined Kent in 2019 and will deputise for Daniel Bell-Drummond in the Championship team and <\/span>Sam Billings in the limited-over side<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m extremely excited to see what the future holds at Kent,” Leaning <\/span>said.<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“I was quick to make sure that I could commit to as many years as I could here going forward.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“These past few weeks, I’ve spent a lot of time with both my teammates for winter training but also with the guys in the club office, seeing how we as players can contribute towards more off-field success as well as on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Together we’re an extremely ambitious club and want to remain right up there with the Test-hosting counties.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaning, who has made 118 appearances for Kent, <\/span>scored an unbeaten 220 in his second match for the county<\/span><\/a> after joining from Yorkshire.<\/span><\/p>\n

The right hander said he was “honoured” to be the new vice-skipper and has already captained the side on 32 occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also helped Kent to <\/span>the T20 Blast title in 2021<\/span><\/a> ending a 14-year wait by the county for a trophy and was subsequently named the club’s batter of the season that year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kent’s director of cricket, Simon Cook added: “With captaincy being under a new model, it’s important to maintain a consistent and balanced voice across formats.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jack is one of the leaders of our dressing room and shares our ambitions. I’m looking forward to seeing him lead our One-Day Cup side if he’s available for us.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
