The signature of Alana King is a huge boost for Perth, who have lured the Melbourne Stars’ all-time leading wicket taker West.
King’s outstanding form for the Stars last year saw her rewarded with selection in the official WBBL|06 Team of the Tournament.
The leg-spinner snared 16 wickets across her 12 matches last season at an economy rate of 6.00, including a match-defining 3-16 against Perth in the semi-final at North Sydney Oval.
King also possesses brutal hitting power with the bat in hand and has produced valuable lower order cameos across her career.
Last season the 25-year-old faced just 27 balls but struck 62 runs, including six sixes, to defy the trend of death bowlers dominating the competition.
King is a proud ambassador of Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision, raising awareness for young people suffering Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome.
