Akeem Jordan: Kent sign West Indies bowler for next four matches

Kent have signed West Indies fast bowler Akeem Jordan for their next four County Championship fixtures.

The 29-year-old has taken 67 wickets in 19 first-class matches for Barbados.

He joins Charlie Stobo, who signed for Kent in May, as the county’s second overseas option.

Kent are bottom of the County Championship table, 30 points adrift of safety with five games of the season remaining.

“I am delighted to join Kent and I’m really looking forward to getting started,” Jordan told Kent’s official website, external.

“I understand the importance of the upcoming matches, and I’m fully committed to playing my part in helping the squad finish strongly.”

Jordan will be available for Kent’s upcoming County Championship matches against Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Hampshire and Nottinghamshire.
