Adelaide allrounder Noah McFadyen received his first state contract for the 2026-27 summer after an outstanding Premier Cricket season, which saw him awarded his second consecutive Bradman Medal. He impressed with bat and ball, amassing more than 1100 runs and 50 wickets across all first-grade competitions.
He made his Sheffield Shield debut in the opening round of that summer, dismissing Victoria opener Marcus Harris with his eighth ball for his maiden first-class wicket, then hitting a century from No.8 in his first bat.
