Knox Gardens young gun Tess Flintoff joins the Stars for her first Big Bash campaign. The dual talented sportswoman has grown up dipping her toes both in the cricket and football arenas.

Flintoff applies her trade for the Ringwood Rams in the Victorian Premier League. A season highlight for the allrounder was Captaining the Victorian side in 2019 Under 18 Female National Championships, where she also contributed significantly with 195 runs at 16.25. Her highest season score was 60 against Tasmania, she also took numerous catches behind the stumps. In several games, she bowled at a very economical rate of 2.82 with her best figures coming in the Grand Final against Tasmania with 1/11.

Flintoff, along with her good friend and Stars teammate Lucy Cripps, plays representative football with the Eastern Ranges and AFLW clubs were very interested in her talent, so her decision to sign on with the Stars for WBBL|05 is one we are extremely excited about.

We look forward to seeing Tess break into the side this season and flourish at the elite level!
