Matt Coles capped an excellent first season back at Kent after being named Player-of-the-Year at the Spitfire Kent Cricket awards in Canterbury on Tuesday night.

The fast bowler topped the supporters' vote after earlier collecting the bowling prize for 100 wickets in all formats.

Coles took 67 wickets in the LV= County Championship in 14 matches at an average of 23.49 and a strike rate of 38.7.

He took a further 17 wickets in the NatWest T20 Blast as well as 16 scalps and a memorable century in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

Maidstone-born Coles said: "I hope my performances have re-paid the faith the coaches and management have shown in bringing me back.

"I'm a Kent man through and through and it has made a difference playing cricket with the lads I grew up and a smile on my face.

"Sam Northeast has backed me as captain and has given me an input into fields and tactics.

"We were unfortunate in a few games this season and we were a few millimetres away from Finals Day in the NatWest T20 Blast and came up just short in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

Sam Northeast scored 2,007 runs to claim Batsman-of-the-Year while and Alex Blake won the Fielder-of-the-Year.

Blake was also named One-Day Player-of-the-Year while spinner Adam Riley was voted most promising uncapped player.
