Crossing to the Rams in July 2023, the True Blues’ 2020-21 premiership winner took in 294 runs last season following 478 in 2023-24. The 26-year-old’s whirlwind stay even produced one of the greatest Premier batting performances in a losing First XI final, with a 150 knock against Carlton.

Phil Lovell, coach: The Premier Cricket power has appointed assistant Lovell as its new mentor following the retirement of long-serving coach Shannon Young.

The Jersey international topscored in the grand final with 48, took two catches and claimed a direct hit run-out of the opposition captain in a game-changing display. Batting option Trent Wynne is also said to be returning following a stint at Heathmont.
