Kent played his early club rugby at Bridgwater & Albion rugby club, where he was an enthusiastic member until his death, and played at senior level for Rosslyn Park, appearing in the final of the John Player Cup at Twickenham in 1976 when Park lost 23–14 to Gosforth. Kent scored a fine individual try against Scotland but made only four more international appearances before his medical workload saw him drop out of representative rugby. His last England appearance came as a replacement against France in 1978.
Kent, a keen squash player and horseman, collapsed and died suddenly after riding out with a group of friends on Dartmoor.
