Robbie Joseph: Has departed the Spitfires after having limited first-team opportunities in 2011
Kent fast bowler Robbie Joseph is to leave the county after limited first-team opportunities during the 2011 season.
His departure comes after he played in six LV= County Championship games last term but did not feature in any senior limited overs matches.
The paceman's exit ends a six-year association with the Spitfires, after the 29-year-old made his debut at the end of the 2005 campaign.
He went on to take 144 first-class wickets at 31.25 for Kent, while he also claimed 47 wickets in one-day and Twenty20 cricket.
New challenge
His performances in 2008 led to him being picked for the England Performance squad and England Lions.
"I feel I still have a great deal to achieve in the game and am looking forward to making that happen."
