Ford agrees new Kent deal

Graham Ford has agreed a new contract to remain as Kent's coach until at least 2008.

Ford doesn't have any silverware to show for his time at Kent but has a crop of young players on the staff such as Joe Denly who made 86 in the current Championship match.

After taking the new deal Ford said: "There is still a lot to do. I am keen to add strength to our first team, build depth in our back-up squad and work to bring through some of our outstanding Academy talent.

"There are a lot of talented cricketers in Kent and I am quite sure that with the help and guidance of our coaching team, we can continue to ensure that Kent competes for success in all competitions.
