Corey Flintoff, the son of former England captain Andrew, has signed a two-year rookie contract with Kent.
A right-handed batter and a right-arm medium fast bowler, 19-year-old Corey Flintoff progressed through Lancashire’s age groups and Academy. He also played for the North at the Bunbury cricket festival in 2021. and for Lancashire Second XI in 2024.
Corey Flintoff trained with the Kent first team last week, and bowled four overs in their two-day warm-up match against Essex on Friday. As per the two-year rookie contract, he will be available to “play for the county around his University studies” for at least the next two seasons.
“I’m delighted to be joining Kent to continue my development as a player under Adam Hollioake and the excellent coaching staff here,” he said. “The lads in the dressing room have been so welcoming to me this week and there’s a great atmosphere here. I’m excited for what’s next for me and I know that Kent is the right place for me to make the step up to first-team cricket.”
“Corey is an extremely exciting young player and has great all-round ability to score runs and take wickets,” said Simon Cook, director of cricket at Kent. “He is a very hard worker and I know that he is extremely determined to make a name for himself in professional cricket. We’re delighted that he feels that he can do this as a Kent cricketer.”
Corey’s father Andrew, one of the greatest all-rounders in England history and currently head coach of the England Lions, needs little introduction. Corey’s brother Rocky has already played for Lancashire as well as for England Under-19s.
