Wonderful Woolly
Jess Woolston is an emerging fast bowler who has remained at Headingley with Yorkshire having encouraged in Northern Diamonds colours in recent seasons.
Woolston has signed a two-year contract ahead of 2025, her maiden professional deal.
Born in Teesside, she has made Leeds her home having studied in the city. She has recently graduated from Leeds Beckett University with a degree in Sports Coaching and is a former student of the Yorkshire Cricket College.
Woolston turns 22 ahead of the new season.
Woolston grew up in the Durham age-groups, from Under 13s to the Under 17s, and has played senior county cricket for both them and Yorkshire – the latter who she joined ahead of the 2019 summer.
Playing for Durham’s Under 17s in a 45-over victory against Oxfordshire in 2018, she took the new ball and claimed a stunning haul of 6-9 from eight overs, including five wickets bowled and the other lbw.
A skilful new ball bowler with a particularly effective in-swinger, Woolston progressed through the Northern Diamonds Academy to make her senior debut for the region towards the end of the 2022 season.
It came in the latter stages of the triumphant Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy campaign.
Early the following summer, in the same competition, she claimed a fabulous match-winning 5-37 against South East Stars at Scarborough in May.
