Player Story

Nick Hobson has become one of Perth Scorchers' purest ball-strikers since shifting from the top-order to a specialised finishing role. 

The tall left-hander showed his power and class against Brisbane Heat at Optus Stadium on Boxing Day, 2024, blasting an unbeaten 47 from 16 deliveries to earn Player of the Match honours. 

It was the highlight of a KFC BBL|14 season in which Hobson played every match, recorded the Club's second-highest strike rate (150) and third-highest average (30.60). 

Hobson's crowning moment as a Scorcher, however, remains his famous partnership with Cooper Connolly in the BBL|12 Final against Brisbane. 

Playing before a record crowd of 53,886 at Optus Stadium, Hobson hammered 18 from seven deliveries alongside then-teenager Connolly (25 from 11), securing victory with back-to-back boundaries in the 20th over.

It is arguably the most celebrated run-chase in the competition's history and proved critical to the Scorchers winning their record-breaking fifth BBL title. 

The 30-year-old is poised to embark on his seventh season in orange after signing a contract for BBL|15.
