The 30-year-old has played 49 T20 matches in his career, taking 60 wickets.

"We know that every game is vital for us now, and I want to do my part in getting results as a Spitfire in the near future," he told the club's website.

Rogers has 91 appearances across T20, List A and first-class formats, taking 149 wickets and scoring 725 runs in total.

Kent are ninth in the T20 Blast South group, one point above bottom-placed Middlesex, with four points from eight games.
