Yorkshire County Cricket Club is pleased to announce the signing of Em Arlott, who will join the Club from 1st November ahead of the 2027 season.
The Norfolk-native joins on a three-year contract from Warwickshire, who she signed for at the dawn of the new domestic structure. In two years at Edgbaston to date, she has taken 28 wickets.
During the regional era, she played for Central Sparks where she took 72 wickets across List A and T20 cricket.
Arlott has also played ten times for England across ODI’s and T20’s, bursting onto the scene with 3-14 in a WT20 against the West Indies in 2025.

The 28-year-old said, “I’m delighted to be joining Yorkshire at what is a pivotal point in the development of their team. I’m in no doubt that women’s cricket has grown rapidly across the region and I’m excited to experience the energy behind this.
“When I spoke to Rich {Pyrah} and Gavin Hamilton, I could feel the vision of where they are taking this team and to get the opportunity to play with cricketers like Lauren Winfield-Hill and Jess Jonnassen is a huge pull. These are legends of the game, and I feel ready to help get Yorkshire to the very top.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket, said: “We’re really pleased to have secured the signing of Em. Her move to Headingley shows the strength of the project we are building here.
“She will add some incredible experience into the dressing room, especially having played international cricket. We’re all delighted to be welcoming her to Yorkshire and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing her pull the White Rose on for the first time in 2027.”
