Hartley Leroy Alleyne (born 28 February 1957) is a former Barbadian

Barbados, Worcestershire, Kent and Natal between 1978–79 and 1989–90. He also played club cricket in the Lancashire League, Huddersfield League and the Birmingham League
.

Alleyne was born at

in 1957.

Career

Alleyne made his

Shell Shield
, picking up a wicket in each innings. He made no further first-class appearances that season, but did play two more Geddes Grant/Harrison Line Trophy games.

Alleyne had played one

county cap in 1981, in which year he took a career-best 8–43 against Middlesex
. However, in general he failed to reach the same standards as in 1980, and he left the county after the 1982 season.

For the next couple of years, Alleyne divided his time between Barbados and

Natal
, for whom he took 56 first-class and 65 List A wickets in his six seasons there.

His second stint in county cricket, with Kent, came in 1988 and 1989, and although he played only nine first-class matches for the county (taking 21 wickets) he did appear 16 times in the

Currie Cup against Western Province in October 1989. After that, he played on in the Lancashire League for a couple of seasons, this time for the Colne
club.

He then became a cricket coach at first

St. Edmund's School in Canterbury, Kent, but in 2007 was refused a work permit by the Home Office and threatened with deportation despite having obtained the requested NVQ level 3 in sports coaching. His local MP, Julian Brazier, called the decision "utter madness".[1]
However, in January 2008 Alleyne was granted leave to remain in the UK for three years, and said that it felt "like winning the Lotto".[2]
