David Stiff made the move from Yorkshire to Kent in 2004 in search of first-team opportunities. Stiff, a tall, quick bowler, came with a big reputation after representing Englan Under-19 the previous winter. However, he proved expensive, with an economy rate of almost five in his first season at Canterbury and was struck by injury. Opportunities have since been limited and he was released at the end of the 2006 season, although he subsequently signed a one-year deal with Leicestershire but failed to make an impression and was again released.
