Kirkburton is pleased to announce the signing of Australian amateur Aaron Joby for their 2022 Drakes Huddersfield League campaign.
British-born, Australian-bred…
Aaron Joby is a tremendous batting prospect making waves in Queensland, Australia.
The British-born (Liverpool) left-hander currently plays for the famous South Brisbane District Cricket Club in Queensland Premier Cricket.
A serious prospect
Whilst only 17, Joby has already broken into 1st Grade following several run-filled seasons in the lower grades in recent years.
Last summer (2020/21), Joby became the youngest player in Queensland Premier Cricket history to score 150 in 3rd Grade, finishing 157* against Western Suburbs. In all formats, Joby scored 463 runs ta 38.58 for South Brisbane.
In form
This season (2021/22), he kicked off the season with a 99 in 2nd Grade to earn his 1st Grade debut the following round. He has since played predominantly in the 2nd Grade where he has 496 runs at 45.09, to include a century (124), amongst his season tally of 740 runs at 43.53.
It’s far to say, the dual Passport holder has a bright future and seems destined for Queensland Under-19 honours when the National Championships come round in April 2022.
Joby set for Huddersfield gig
Thereafter, the talented youngster will wing his way to the UK having recently signed with Kirkburton for their 2022 Drakes Huddersfield League campaign.
