Hamilton joins Phoenix Women as an exciting young bowler who has impressed through the Australian pathway with her genuine variety, potent wicket-taking threat and ability to contribute across formats. A product of the regional system, Hamilton has established herself as a wicket taker and reliable batting option.

She has featured in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) with Brisbane Heat, turning heads with her ability to swing and seam the ball in high-pressure T20 environments. She made history as the youngest player to take a five-wicket haul in WBBL competition and her competitive edge, adaptability across formats, and leadership experience at Australia Under-19 level underscore her potential as a dynamic addition for 2026.
