Ben Compton: Kent sign opening batter on two-year deal
Kent have signed opening batter Ben Compton on a two-year contract.
Grandson and cousin of former England internationals Denis and Nick respectively, Compton was released by Nottinghamshire last season.
The 27-year-old left-hander returns to a county he previously made second XI appearances for in 2019.
Three of his five first-class appearances to date came last season, but he made just 55 runs in five County Championship innings for Notts.
"As a specialist opening batter, he will add strength to our squad as we aim to be competitive in all three competitions next season," Kent director of cricket Paul Downton said.
