Conor McKerr is eligible for Kent's final two games of the season
Kent have bolstered their bowling attack for the Championship run-in by signing Surrey's Conor McKerr on loan.
The right-arm fast bowler, 24, will be available for struggling Kent's final two fixtures, away to Hampshire from Monday and then at home to Somerset.
Former South Africa Under-19 international McKerr has taken 44 wickets in 17 first-class matches.
He became Derbyshire's youngest=ever bowler to take 10 wickets in a match during a loan spell in 2017.
Kent are level on points with second-bottom Warwickshire in Division One and eight-points behind Somerset.
The three sides are all looking to avoid joining rock-bottom Gloucestershire - who seem doomed - in Division Two next season.
