Josh Cameron and Noah Platt have joined the Wagga City club to play in the Wagga Cricket comp for 2024/25.
Having played both juniors and in the South West Slopes competition, Cameron and Platt will now be donning the gloves for Wagga City after a fantastic run with the Riverina side at the Cricket NSW Country Colts Carnival recently.
Both Cameron and Noah have put in excellent performances over the past 12 months with the A Grade side in the South West Slopes comp with City coach Rob Nicoll very excited to have the boys join the side.
"They've both done a lot of Riverina cricket over the last couple of years," Nicoll told the Daily Advertiser.
"They just needed to play in a stronger competition and where we train out at North Wagga that sort of suits them as it's a bit closer to home.

"We've got a really high performance culture so they wanted to be a part of that and get better.
"It's really good to have them."
Wagga City have won the last two Wagga Cricket premierships and have set their eyes on securing their third this season with Cameron and Platt joining the ranks.
"They are both really good sticks and they've made plenty of runs in their local competition," Nicoll said.
"Hopefully they'll transfer that over here and Noah is another good quick option as well.
"He's got a really nice action and it's really smooth, we can set a field to his bowling so that will be good."
Cameron is eager to get on the pitch and see what he can do with the Wagga side.
"I'm super excited just to have the opportunity to be able to challenge myself in a much bigger and tougher competition," he told the DA.
"It's just a bit more competitive and the tougher opposition will be a good challenge for me, it'll really help me take my game to the next level."
Cameron is hoping to duplicate his previous season with the Bribbaree Rams with his new side.
"I really just want to score as many runs as possible and have fun while doing it," he said.
"That's the best way to keep scoring runs."
Cameron has enjoyed settling in with the Wagga club having attended pre-season training.
"It's just a great club culture," Cameron said.
"All the grades mix together and it's been really inviting and welcoming."
Platt is eager to get the season started with the Wagga side.
"I'm looking to score a lot of runs this season and also get some wickets," he told the DA.
Platt still has a big season up ahead of him having been selected in the NSW Combined High Schools Sports Association Boys Cricket Championship last term, with the side to take to the field at Blacktown in early November.
