Ruth Johnston burst onto the scene in 2021, scoring 865 runs and taking 22 wickets as she was named Queensland’s Premier Cricket player of the season.
One of the top prospects in Queensland’s cricketing ranks, she earned a Fire contract for 2021-22, but looked further afield for opportunities in the WBBL.
Johnston signed with the Hurricanes at age 18 and was immediately given the chance to play a key role in the ‘Canes XI. She made the move complete in 2024, signing a state contract with Tasmania.
She is the cousin of her former Queensland teammate Ellie Johnston.
