David Fulton, who has been left out of the Kent side for their latest Championship match against Yorkshire, fears his days as a Kent player are coming to an end. He is still waiting to hear from the club about an offer for next season, but says he is likely to retire if nothing is forthcoming.

Fulton told The Kent Messenger: "After almost 200 games for the club it would have been nice to go out on my own terms. There is little place for sentiment in professional sport and I fully understand that.

"I have put a proposal to the club for next year because they are well aware I would love to put something back into the county. What comes of that I don't know as yet, but I wouldn't like to think my last shot in cricket was that poorly played pull that got me out against Sussex last week."

Fulton has played 199 games for Kent, and this season has scored 814 runs at 33.91, but was overlooked in favour of Joe Denly for the match at Headingley
