Danni Wyatt-Hodge Joins Surrey for Women’s Tier 1 Competition
Danni Wyatt-Hodge, England’s prolific batter, has made a significant move by transferring her allegiance from Southern Vipers to Surrey for the inaugural Women’s Tier 1 county competition in 2025. This decision marks a new chapter in her illustrious career, which has spanned over a decade and witnessed numerous accolades.
Wyatt-Hodge, 33, has been a cornerstone of the England women’s team since her debut in 2010. With 278 international appearances, she has amassed over 5,000 runs across all formats. Her exceptional performances in T20Is have earned her the distinction of being England’s all-time leading run-scorer in the format, with 2,979 runs at an impressive strike rate of 127.85.
Her move to Surrey reunites her with England teammates Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey. Wyatt-Hodge expressed her excitement about joining the club, stating, “I am both excited and honored to be joining Surrey. The club has an incredible history with a culture of success, which I want to contribute to.”
Emma Calvert, Surrey’s Director of Women’s Cricket, hailed Wyatt-Hodge’s signing as a major coup for the club. “Danni’s career speaks for itself, and we believe she will add strength and depth on the field as well as adding to the team off the field,” Calvert said.
Wyatt-Hodge’s decision to join Surrey is a testament to the club’s growing stature in women’s cricket. The South East Stars, Surrey’s women’s team, have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in recent years, winning the Charlotte Edwards Cup in 2022.
Wyatt-Hodge’s experience and leadership will be invaluable to Surrey as they aim to challenge for silverware in the new Women’s Tier 1 competition. Her aggressive batting style and ability to score runs at a rapid pace will be a major asset to the team.
