In 2025, Wellington spent the English summer with Somerset, having played previously for Western Storm in regional cricket.
She said: “I’m really excited to join Hampshire for the upcoming season. I had a great time at Utilita Bowl in my two years at Southern Brave and I look forward to catching up with familiar faces and making new memories which will hopefully result in trophies come end the end of the summer.”
She was Somerset’s leading wicket taker in the One Day Cup with 19, and scored 282 runs, the third most for her side, in the competition.
In the Vitality Blast, the leg spinner scored 254 runs, the most for the Wyverns, at a strike rate of 130, and took 13 wickets (second most for Somerset).
