Batsman Jack Leaning reflects on Kent’s 2023 season after completing his fourth season with the club
“I love it here,” enthused Jack Leaning as he reflects on life with Kent after completing his fourth season with the club. “If anything, if I had known it would be this good, I would have come years ago!” A thick Yorkshire accent still remains.
