Another familiar face, The Blaze all-rounder Georgia Elwiss is secured for £27,500.
Emma Jones secured
Shortly after missing out on a bidding war for Cassidy McCarthy, Trent Rockets secure the services of Emma Jones.

Rockets secure Millie Taylor
Former Birmingham Phoenix batter makes the move across the Midlands, being secured by Trent Rockets for £27,500.
Bess Heath heads to Trent Bridge
Two signings in a matter of moments! SunRisers Leeds battle for Bess Heath's signature, but the Rockets prevail at £32,500.
Rockets swoop for Lister
After the lunch break, a second player is picked up by Trent Rockets. Scotland star and wicketkeeper-batter Ailsa Lister is snapped up for £30,000, following a battle of bids with Manchester Superchargers.
Lucy Higham heads to Spirit
Blaze mainstay Lucy Higham attracts the attention of London Spirit, and is secured for £15,000.
Kirstie Gordon heads to the capital
The Blaze skipper Kirstie Gordon - a familiar face in Trent Rockets colours - sparks a bidding war between London Spirit and MI London.
It's the Oval-based side who succeed on this occasion, snapping up the spinner for £55,000.
Kathryn Bryce returns to Manchester
Having represented Manchester Originals in previous summers, The Blaze's Kathryn Bryce returns to Emirates Old Trafford for 2026, in Supergiants colours.
A bidding war between Rockets and Supergiants ensues, but it's MSG who prevail.
Ballinger heads North
The Blaze pace bowler Grace Ballinger, part of the title-winning Northern Superchargers squad last summer, crosses the Pennines for 2026.
Ballinger heads to Manchester Supergiants for £42,500.
Rockets secure Beth Mooney for £210,000
The sought-after signature of Beth Mooney is secured by the Rockets, but only after an intense bidding war between Trent Rockets and Manchester Super Giants.
The Rockets prevail for £210,000 – the joint-highest fee paid for a player in the auction so far.
“We can say it now – we knew she was a big target for the Rockets,” says Steven Mullaney on our Instagram live after the hammer fell. “Fletch will be buzzing!”
Tammy goes to Phoenix
The Blaze and England opener Tammy Beaumont sparks a bidding war, with Trent Rockets involved, but Phoenix secure her services for £70,000.
The Blaze's Amy Jones goes to London Spirit
The first Blaze player to be signed in the auction is England wicketkeeper Amy Jones, brought in by London Spirit for £70,000.
Trent Rockets make a bid for Sarah Glenn, but Southern Brave secure her signature for £75,000.
First pick: Davina Perrin to Birmingham Phoenix, £50,000
A breakout star from last summer, Davina Perrin goes to Birmingham Phoenix.
"A steal," says Trent Rockets coach Steven Mullaney.
"Working with the Phoenix [last year] I know how highly they rate her, and I'm sure they'd have been willing to pay more for her."
