We are delighted to announce the appointment of Geraint Jones MBE as our new Director of Cricket 🏏

Joining us from St Lawrence College, Geraint will build on the excellent work led by Linden Lockhart, continuing to strengthen and develop cricket at Kent College. His appointment reflects our ongoing ambition to nurture some of the most talented young cricketers across the South East and support them on their journey within the sport.

Geraint brings a wealth of experience at the very highest level, having represented England in 34 Test matches - including as part of the iconic 2005 Ashes-winning side - as well as making over 150 appearances for Kent.

Geraint said he is “really looking forward to starting as Director of Cricket at Kent College in September and working with all the wonderfully talented students the school has to offer.”

We are excited to welcome Geraint to the Kent College community and look forward to the impact of his expertise, passion, and leadership 🙌
