Sarah\u2019s deal is the first to be finalised since the WBBL scrapped its overseas draft mechanism in favour of direct multi-year and single-year contracts for foreign players ahead of the new season set to run from October 29 to December 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe\u2019re rapt to have \u2018Glenny\u2019 back with us, and this time for the entire competition. She\u2019s an outstanding person, great team player, and as we have seen, a very skilful bowler who will complement our attack in whatever role we ask of her.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been keeping an eye on her bowling during the year, and her efforts for Yorkshire and for the Southern Brave in The Hundred have been excellent,\u201d said head coach Mark Sorell in a statement issued by the club.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sarah, 27, has inked a one-year deal that will see her available for the entirety of the WBBL season 12 campaign. The signing marks her third stint with the Heat, after having previously represented the franchise in WBBL season nine and as an injury replacement during a difficult 2025 season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She proved to be a rare bright spot during the Heat's winless campaign last year after coming in for South Africa\u2019s seam-bowling all-rounder Nadine de Klerk. She picked up six wickets in just two matches at an average of 10.66 and finished as the team's second-highest wicket-taker behind left-arm pacer Lucy Hamilton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Her retention provides a major boost to a Brisbane side looking to rebuild after becoming the first team in WBBL history to go through an entire season without a win. The Heat will also be led by a new leader this year after long-serving skipper Jess Jonassen stepped down. Jess, though, remains on the playing roster and will partner Sarah and Charli Knott\u2019s off-spin bowling in a strong, multi-dimensional spin attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
