Kent said, "I am excited to come back to Corpus Christi and finally play for the home team. The team plays in a first class arena and the fans here in Corpus Christi have always been great to play in front of. I am proud to be a part of a great organization like the Fury and hope to be able to bring a championship to this city, stated Kent.
