Yorkshire Sign England All‑Rounder Em Arlott on Three‑Year Deal

The addition gives Headingley an experienced all‑rounder as the county pushes to lift its results after turning professional last season.

Overview

  • Yorkshire have signed Em Arlott on a three‑year contract that begins on November 1, 2026, with the 28‑year‑old leaving Warwickshire to join the Headingley squad.
  • Arlott brings international experience, having played ten times for England and taken wickets at international level across formats.
  • Her 2026 campaign included only limited domestic appearances, a stint with Welsh Fire in the Hundred and withdrawal from an England ODI squad because of concussion protocols.
  • The signing is Yorkshire’s second high‑profile English recruit since the county gained professional status, following spinner Sarah Glenn, and comes as they seek to improve after a seventh‑place T20 Blast finish and a low One Day Cup position.
  • Yorkshire expect Arlott to strengthen their bowling and batting depth alongside leaders such as Lauren Winfield‑Hill and Jess Jonassen, and the move signals a wider recruitment push to make the side more competitive at Headingley.
