Phoenix sign destructive SA batter Ferreira
- Published
Birmingham Phoenix have signed South Africa's Donovan Ferreira for the 2026 Hundred season.
Ferreira, 27, is a powerful middle-order batter and wicketkeeper, renowned for his explosive hitting having won the tournament in the last two seasons with Oval Invincibles.
The right-hander has enjoyed standout success in T20 cricket, scoring runs at a strike-rate consistently above 150, with multiple match-winning innings across franchise competitions.
"I've tasted success in the last two years in The Hundred and I would love to win it three years in a row, so hopefully I can contribute to a strong season for the Phoenix," said Ferreira.
Phoenix men's head coach Shane Bond said: "Donovan is exactly the kind of player who can make a huge impact in this format. His ability to finish innings is among the best in the game."
Ferreira's signing means Phoenix have added a full complement of retentions and direct signings in the winter window, joining Rehan Ahmed, Jacob Bethell and Mitch Owen.
