Raised in the small town of Snug in southern Tasmania, Webster burst into state ranks with dominant performances in the Tasmanian Premier League.

At only 20, Webster amassed 677 runs at 45.13 for his local side Kingborough and was awarded a Tigers rookie contract in 2013-14.

After impressing with 494 runs including two centuries in his first full Sheffield Shield season in 2015-16, Webster's watershed moment came in the Covid winter of 2020 when he shifted from a part-time off-spinner to a fully-fledged pace-bowling allrounder.

Four years later, the right-hander produced one of the greatest individual Shield seasons of all-time to lead the Tigers back to the final after a fifth-placed finish the season prior.

Webster's 938 runs, 30 wickets and 24 catches in 2023-24 saw him become just the second player to score 900 runs and take 30 wickets in the Shield's 131-year history (after Garry Sobers' 973 runs and 47 wickets for South Australia in 1963-64).

A prospective AFL draftee, Webster played for the Tassie Mariners at the under-18 level before choosing the cricket path and is now firmly on the national radar after being selected for a strong Prime Minister's XI against Pakistan in December 2023.
