Deal off (File)

London - Australia seamer Stuart Clark's proposed move to English county Kent this season has collapsed after concerns about the 34-year-old paceman's fitness scuppered the deal.

Clark struggled with a back injury during the Australian season and now both he and Kent have decided to end his contract with the newly-promoted southern side.

"I'm very disappointed that Stuart is not coming to Kent because he offers so much - both on and off the field," Kent team director Paul Farbrace said on Tuesday.

"I would like to thank him for his honesty throughout as it made the decision that much easier."

Farbrace added: "We are continuing to work on other options, as we have been for the last couple of months.

"We had someone lined up, as a possible alternative, but he has just been named by his country in their ICC World Twenty20 squad.

"We are looking for someone that will offer value for money, and is the right type of individual to bring into our dressing room, but won't sign someone for the sake of it."
