Player Story
Laura Harris, better known as 'Larris', is a powerful mid-order batter who has become a staple in the Brisbane Heat batting line up alongside her sister Grace.
Growing up in Ipswich, Laura tried out any sport she could including rugby league, soccer and cricket. As a loyal Broncos supporter, she frequently dressed up as Darren Lockyer when versing her three siblings in a game of backyard footy!
Laura loved playing club and school cricket growing up but decided to follow a career in nursing. After a few years of working in the emergency department at Logan Hospital, Laura picked up a bat again, which rapidly catapulted her into a professional sporting career with the Queensland Fire and Brisbane Heat.
As a Nundah local, Laura is a regular customer at the Nundah Village Bakery and loves a French Custard Scroll, but nothing beat's her Mum's Jam Roly-Polys.
Harris is super excited to play in front of her family at Allan Border Field this season, and of course alongside her younger sister Grace!

Brisbane Heat’s indigenous artwork was collaboratively designed by WBBL player and proud Kunja woman Mikayla Hinkley and Brisbane Indigenous artist, Delores McDonald (“Aunty Delly”).
The centre circle represents the Gabba, alongside other water holes which used to be near the ground. 87 black strokes on red earth represent the wickets taken by Aboriginal great, Eddie Gilbert who played 23 games for Queensland.
