Wicketkeeper-batter Priest played 87 one-day internationals and 75 T20 matches for the White Ferns.

She scored over 2,600 runs in her New Zealand career, including two ODI hundreds, before retiring from international cricket in 2020.

“I want to help build a strong and professional environment where players can develop, enjoy their cricket and take the women’s game in Wales to the next level.”
