Wyatt-Hodge, 33, is currently in action for Hobart Hurricanes in the Women’s Big Bash League, and recently featured in England’s T20 World Cup campaign in the United Arab Emirates.
Last summer, she represented Southern Vipers in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachel Heyhoe-Flint Trophy, as well as Southern Brave, who are also based in Southampton.
However, she decided to move to Surrey for the 2025 season, where she will join her England senior teammates Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey.
“I am excited and honored to be joining Surrey,” said Wyatt-Hodge. “The club has an incredible history with a culture of success, which I want to contribute to.
“I love playing at the Kia Oval and can’t wait to entertain the Surrey fans. The South East Stars’ positive style of cricket was a big factor in me joining the club and I can’t wait to get started!”
Wyatt-Hodge has played 278 matches for England since his debut in 2010, at the age of 19, and has scored over 5,000 runs across all three formats. She is England’s all-time leading run-scorer in Women’s T20Is with 2,979 runs in 164 matches, at a strike rate of 127.85.
She made her debut for Staffordshire County at the age of 14, but has been based at the Utilita Bowl since 2020. She will also play for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in this year’s WPL, after moving from UP Warriorz.
“We are incredibly excited that Danni Wyatt-Hodge has agreed to commit to Surrey for the 2025 season,” said Emma Calvert, Director of Women’s cricket at Surrey. “Danni’s career speaks for itself and we believe she will add strength and depth on the field, as well as contributing to the team off the field.
“After chatting with Danni, it was clear that she would be a great fit for our new team. The style of cricket she plays is exactly the way we want to run our business, and I’m excited to see what she achieves wearing the Three Feathers.” my
