The Adelaide Strikers are excited to announce the signing of talented South Australian bowler Maggie Clark ahead of Weber WBBL|12.
A right-arm pace bowler and left-handed batter, Clark joins the Strikers after emerging as one of South Australia’s most promising young cricketers and earning her rookie state contract for the 2025-26 season.
Clark impressed during the Spring Challenge, claiming four wickets, including best figures of 2/17 from four overs.
The South Australian native has also enjoyed success on the international stage.
As the youngest member of Australia’s Under-19 T20 squad in 2023, Clark claimed 12 wickets across five matches, including outstanding figures of 3/15.
She later represented Australia in the Under-19 ODI Tri-Series against Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
Named captain of West Torrens Cricket Club, Clark has established herself as a consistent performer in both SACA Premier Cricket and Second XI cricket, regularly contributing with both bat and ball.
Her performances saw her named in the SA Premier Cricket Team of the Year for the 2023-24 season, as selected by the captains and coaches of each club.
Growing up in South Australia’s Mid North, Clark has steadily progressed through the state pathway and now earns the opportunity to take the next step in her cricket journey with the Strikers.
Adelaide Strikers coach Luke Williams said Clark’s signing was an exciting addition for the club.
“Maggie is a highly talented young cricketer who has continued to impress at every level she’s played,” Williams said.
“She is a skilful pace bowler, contributes with the bat and has shown excellent leadership qualities throughout her development.
“We’re excited to welcome Maggie to the Strikers and look forward to seeing her continue to develop within our program.”
Clark said she was thrilled to join the Strikers.
“It’s incredibly exciting to sign with the Strikers and I’m grateful for the opportunity,” Clark said.
“I’ve grown up watching the team and dreaming of playing in the WBBL, so to now be part of the squad is really special
“I’m looking forward to learning from the players and coaches around me and doing everything I can to contribute to the team’s success.”
