Sydney Sixers sign fast bowler Fergus O’Neill
The Sydney Sixers have secured O’Neill on a two-year deal that brings him across from the Melbourne Renegades. The latest deal will keep Fergus O’Neill at the club until the end of the 2027–28 season. The young talent has built one of the strongest domestic records in Australian cricket, becoming a major figure in Victoria’s red-ball setup.
He burst onto the scene during the 2024–25 Sheffield Shield season, where he delivered a standout campaign to claim Player of the Season honours. He finished the competition with 38 wickets. His signing will also help the Sydney Sixers fill a significant gap left by the retirement of Kane Richardson.
“The Sixers have set the standard in the BBL for a long time, so to be joining a club with that culture and history is really exciting,” O’Neill said in a Sixers' release.
“I’m looking forward to working with the coaches and playing alongside a strong bowling group, and hopefully contributing to more success for the team.”
Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes lauded O’Neill, calling him a proven performer.
“Fergus is a proven performer in domestic cricket and someone we believe has the tools to be highly effective in the T20 format for our club,” Haynes said.
“He’s relentless with the ball, brings great professionalism, and will add real strength and depth to our bowling group over the next few seasons.”
