Kent have appointed Adam Hollioake as their new men’s head coach.
The former Surrey captain has signed a deal until the end of the 2027 season.
His most recent role was assistant coach at Surrey – where he spent the majority of his playing career – for the 2024 season.
“I’m honoured to be appointed as the head coach of Kent,” the 53-year-old said., external
“It’s an amazing chance for me to work with a great squad of players and to be involved with a county with such a rich history of success.
“County cricket is something that I hold extremely close to my heart, and this is an opportunity that I could not turn down.”
Hollioake, who played four Tests for England as an all-rounder and captained the national one-day side, retired from playing in 2007.
He has had coaching roles with the Hong Kong national team and England Lions and was batting coach for Pakistan’s tour of Australia in 2023.
Kent get their County Championship campaign under way on 4 April when they travel to Northamptonshire.
