The Melbourne Stars are pleased to announce that Victorian and former Australian quick Peter Siddle has signed a one-year deal with the club.
Despite being one of the original signings for the club, Siddle never played a BBL game for the Stars due to international commitments and has gone on to play 83 BBL games with the Strikers and Renegades over the last 9 seasons.
“To secure someone of Peter’s experience with the last spot on the list is fantastic, not only for his on-field ability but his leadership off the field and what he can provide to others is something that really appealed to us,” said General Manager Blair Crouch.
“As we’ve already seen in the current domestic season, Peter is still bowling at a really high level, having taken 10 wickets across 5 One Day Cup appearances so far.”
“It’s great to come full circle and be back at the Stars after being one of the original signings,” Siddle said.
“It’s always a privilege playing at the MCG and I’m really looking forward to helping out however I can with this group.”
