The 19-year-old made his progress through Lancashire’s age groups and Academy and played for the club’s second Xl last summer, making his debut alongside his younger brother Rocky against Yorkshire in April.
The fast-bowling all-rounder Corey Flintoff has been training with Kent’s two-day Warmup against Essex at Canterbury on Friday.
He has joined the club on a rookie contract that will make him available to play for the county around his University studies for at least the next two seasons.
