Timothy Neil Wren (born 26 March 1970) is an English former professional cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club during the 1990s. [1] [2]
Wren was born at Folkestone in 1970, [1] and attended Harvey Grammar School in the town. [3] He made his debut for Kent's Second XI in 1987 and played under-25 cricket for the county the following year before making his First XI debut in 1989, opening the bowling and taking one wicket in a List A fixture against Leicestershire at Cheriton Road in Folkestone. [4]
A left-arm medium pace bowler, Wren made his first-class cricket debut the following season, playing in five of Kent's County Championship matches during 1990, although he took only six wickets. [4] He played club cricket for Ashford Cricket Club during the early 1990s, where he was mentored by Peter Moralee, a Kent development coach working at Ashford Prep School, [5] but Wren played only a handful of matches for the county side between 1991 and 1994, unable to break into the team on a regular basis. [4]
Wren played most of his First XI cricket between 1994 and 1996, making seven first-class appearances in each of the three seasons and playing a significant role in Kent's one-day side during the period. He took 17 first-class and 8 List A wickets during 1994, and the following season took 23 first-class wickets, the most of his career. [4] He also took 16 List A wickets as Kent won the Sunday league competition. [6] After taking nine first-class and seven List A wickets in 1996 he played just five matches in 1997, taking only one wicket, and was released by the club at the end of the season. [4]
After retiring from top-level cricket, Wren played in the Kent Cricket League for Sibton Park and Canterbury Cricket Clubs. [4] His family owns a plumbing and heating engineering business in Folkestone and Wren worked in the company as an engineer during the off-season when he was playing professionally. He has since become a partner in the family business. [6]
