Thunder Captain Phoebe Litchfield Commits For Three More Years

Sydney Thunder’s captain, Phoebe Litchfield, will keep wearing lime green for three more years. She has signed a new contract with the Western Sydney team, making fans excited about her staying.

Litchfield’s new deal shows her strong support for Thunder Nation. It’s great news for the team as they get ready for tonight’s Weber WBBL finals at Drummoyne Oval. They will face the Hobart Hurricanes, and her commitment gives them a big boost.

At only 21 years old, Litchfield has become one of the best players in Australian cricket. She has shown great leadership both on and off the field, helping the Thunder achieve success this season. The club is thrilled to have her on board until the end of WBBL13.

Sydney Thunder General Manager Trent Copeland expressed his excitement at the news:

“Phoebe Litchfield signing a three-year contract extension is fantastic news for the club as we head into the finals. She’s our leader, full of energy, and her passion for the game shines through everything she does. Phoebe’s actions have built a strong and positive team culture. For me and the club, making sure Phoebe stays as our leader was one of the most important things for our future.

“The three-year extension is fantastic news! It’s great for the club and a well-deserved reward for Phoebe. She has been amazing, especially with the important runs she’s scoring to help us succeed.

This season, one of my main goals was to make our game style clear. I wanted something our fans and members could connect with. They should know how we’ll play and what kind of cricket to expect from us. Phoebe is a key part of this plan and the heart of our approach.

“It’s an amazing day for the club, and hopefully, this news propels us towards lifting the trophy at the end of the tournament.”

Phoebe Litchfield shared her excitement about continuing her journey with the Thunder: 

I’m super proud to call Sydney Thunder my home. Staying with this team for another three years makes me so happy! This club means a lot to me, and I truly believe we’re creating something amazing together.

Playing in front of our amazing fans and representing Thunder is always an honor. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together. Litchfield’s extension shows that the Thunder want to grow a young talent and create a winning team. Their goal is to win a third WBBL title.

Sydney Thunder will play against the Hobart Hurricanes tonight in an exciting finals match at Drummoyne Oval. Fans are asked to come out and cheer for their team.
