Sydenham-Hillside hasn’t wasted time adding some more key pieces to its squad for the next Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division season.
Having made a grand final in its first season in the top grade, the Storm is focused on going one step further.
The first signing for the Storm was Tallan Wright as head of cricket and player.
“With his extensive experience, passion for the game, and proven leadership, Tallan brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our club,” the Storm said on social media.
“We are confident that his vision, dedication, and innovative approach will drive our cricket program to new heights.
“Tallan joins us with a remarkable background in cricket, having played 83 games in premier cricket and recently captain/coaching Aberfeldie Cricket Club.
“His commitment to player development, strategic planning, and fostering a winning culture align perfectly with our club’s values and goals. His genuine all-round ability will be a huge asset on the field as well as his role off the field.”
Wright in his role of head of cricket will be responsible for the club’s strategic planning for the future as well as working with the club’s coaches to ensure correct development is in place.
Wright will be joined at the Storm by a familiar face with his Aberfeldie teammate Cameron West also making the move.
“Cameron brings with him an impressive track record as a destructive opening batsman, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him on board,” the Storm said.
“Cameron has recently moved into the Sydenham area and is excited to play for the biggest club in the area.
“With his explosive batting style and proven ability to dominate the opposition, Cameron adds a new dimension to our team’s batting line up.
“His talent, passion, and commitment to excellence make him a valuable asset both on and off the field.”
