Logan was born in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and played for Yorkshire's age group and Academy teams, as well as the club's Second XI.[1] A slow left-arm orthodox spin bowler, he made his first-class debut for Yorkshire in the 2018 County Championship on 24 September 2018.[2]

In his second first-class match against Warwickshire played at York's Clifton Park Ground in June 2019, Logan took four wickets for 22 runs in Warwickshire's second innings.[3]

He was released by Yorkshire when his contract expired at the end of the 2020 season having played only twice for the county's First XI,[4][5] and signed a two-month contract with Kent in June 2021 after impressing playing in the county's Second XI.[6][7] He made his Twenty20 debut on 9 June 2021, taking 1/14 from three overs on debut,[8] and his List A debut on 22 July in the 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup.[9] On 27 July 2021, Logan signed a two-year contract extension with Kent.[10]

After playing a total of 12 matches for Kent during the 2021, Logan was unable to break into the First XI in either of the following seasons, although he played regularly for the county's Second XI.[4] At the end of the 2023 season he was released by Kent.[11]
