Sam is a dynamic bowling all-rounder who brings balance, composure, and competitiveness to every team she represents. A right-arm medium pace bowler and right-handed middle-to-top order batter, she offers consistent contributions across both disciplines, underpinned by a strong understanding of her role in different match situations.
Known for her speed and athleticism in the field, Sam takes great pride in her work off the ball and is regularly trusted in high-pressure “hot spot” positions. Her all-round value is further strengthened by proven leadership experience, having captained throughout her school cricket years and within senior cricket environments, where her calm presence and team-first mindset stand out.
Sam’s representative pathway reflects both talent and resilience. She has represented Auckland at U15, U19, and Auckland A level, spending four seasons with Auckland A before transitioning to Canterbury. Over the past three seasons she has played for Canterbury A while also training within the Canterbury Magicians high-performance environment, continuing to refine her game alongside elite players.
Her domestic performances speak to her impact. Sam has been part of championship-winning sides across multiple regions, including Sydenham’s Premier Women’s team, claiming the 50-over title in 2024/25 and the T20 title in 2023/24. Earlier, she was a member of the Auckland University Premier Women’s side that won the T20 competition in 2022/23. Individually, she enjoyed a standout season in 2022/23 as the leading run scorer in Auckland’s Premier Women’s competition.
With the ball, Sam is renowned for her ability to apply pressure through control and discipline. A season-opening spell of 5/23 highlighted her wicket-taking ability, and she has continued to start seasons strongly, regularly claiming wickets against past and present White Ferns in club cricket while expertly restricting run flow. With the bat, she is valued for her patience and game awareness, capable of occupying the crease and rotating strike to build innings. More recently, she has shown her versatility by shifting gears in T20 cricket, guiding her side to victory in two successful chases with unbeaten knocks of 23 off 14 balls and 18 off 13.
Driven, professional, and highly competitive, Sam is currently pushing for opportunities at the next level, with a clear goal of earning a domestic debut. While ambitious, she remains firmly team-focused, thriving in high-performance environments and consistently seeking ways to contribute to winning outcomes.
