Player Story
‘Ruthy’ has been a gun recruit for the Hurricanes since she arrived in Tasmania in WBBL|07, scoring 214 runs in her first season paired with 13 wickets showed her strong versatility at only 18 years of age. She has the ability to take the match away from another team with her power-hitting, while also keeping it tight with one of the lower economy rates in the Hurricanes line-up. Fresh off a two-year re-signing, Johnston will be looking to play a key role for Hobart’s lower order.
