Holly Ferling was added to Queensland’s rookie list aged just 14 after impressing at club level.

Following an impressive performance at the Under-18 National Championships in 2011-12, Ferling became the first female player to win the Ken Mackay Trophy for the Queensland Junior Cricketer of the Year.

Her efforts also saw her called into the Australia A Women's for their tour of New Zealand in early 2012.

On the back of standout performances at club level, Ferling was added to Queensland Fire’s rookie list at the age of 14.

In her debut domestic season Ferling earned a place in the WNCL 50-over Team of the Year and she was subsequently picked in Australia’s squad for the 2013 World Cup in India.

Aged 17, Ferling announced herself on the international stage, taking 2-10 from three overs in Australia’s opening match of the tournament. She went on to take nine wickets during the World Cup and was named 12th in the Team of the Tournament.

Ferling also helped Australia reclaim the Ashes from England in mid-2015, but a combination of injuries and form saw her fall out of favour in 2016.

After starting her WBBL career with the Brisbane Heat, Ferling moved to the Melbourne Stars ahead of WBBL|04, spending three seasons with the club.

One-year stints at the Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers followed in WBBL|07 and |08.

In 2022, Ferling announced she was leaving Queensland and relocating to Canberra to play for the ACT Meteors.

Off the field, Ferling has forged a career in broadcast and media, regularly featuring on Channel Seven’s coverage.
