Yorkshire sign Australia all-rounder Jonassen

Jess Jonassen was named joint WBBL player of the year alongside Ellyse Perry for 2024-25

Yorkshire women have confirmed the signing of Australia all-rounder Jess Jonassen on a two-year deal for their inaugural Tier One season in 2026.

The 32-year-old left-arm spinner has won five T20 World Cups and one One-Day World Cup and has also made six Test appearances.

She helped Welsh Fire reach the final of The Hundred in 2024 in her only previous spell playing in Britain.

"Signing a player of Jess's quality is a real testament to the enduring appeal of Yorkshire," head coach Richard Pyrah told the club website.

"Jess is a cricketer with proven international pedigree who we know will bring experience and a lot of skill.

"She is an immensely talented all-rounder and is exactly the kind of character we want in the team as we embark on Tier One next season."
