Justin Beaton

Justin Beaton is a high quality young seam bowling talent born in Queensland but raised in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. A Right-hander that tends to bat just before the roller, he isn’t a walking wicket but his best work comes with the ball in hand, with his Right-arm Fast bowling by far and away his most dominant discipline. Having spent his youth playing for Croydon Ranges CC, he made the move to the nearest Premier Cricket Club, Ringwood CC after COVID.

Having started in the Ringwood lower grades, by 2024 he was a full time first grader for Ringwood but has continued to make the odd appearance for Croydon Ranges in T20 cricket. At the back end of the 2024-25 summerm Justin was selected to represent the Melbourne Renegades Academy in an emerging players program T20 competition.

2025-26 saw Justin continue his progress as one of the Bushrangers’ brightest young seam prospects, pushing his way into the Victoria 2nd XI side to face New South Wales during the summer and continuing to spearhead the Ringwood attack in the Premier competition.

Justin has had two seasons of UK experience, the first being a 2024 stint with Sussex club, Steyning CC, which led to Justin picking up some late season appearances for Sussex 2nd XI, with an impressive 12 wickets in 3 games with a best of 5-65 against Essex. He returned in 2025, joining Redruth CC in the ECB Cornwall Premier League.

Keen on a return to the UK next summer, Justin will be an excellent pick up for any club seeking a strike new ball bowler that will bring plenty of Aussie energy and enthusiasm to any club next summer. Justin holds a Cricket Australia Level One coaching qualification.
