2002

The 2002 season saw Kirby back up his debut season with 37 wickets at an average of 34.10, but Kirby's best season came in 2003 when his 67 first-class wickets at 26.40 in 2003 suggested Kirby was capable of performing at the highest level.

On 7 September 2010, Gloucestershire announced that they had released Kirby from the final two years of his contract, after he had requested the chance to play Division One County Championship cricket to push his England claims, turning down the offer of a benefit season.
