CiteCon Kingfishers 2026 Retentions

The reigning champions are back. 👑🟣

The CiteCon Kingfishers, winners of the 2023 and 2025 Porters T20 Smash, are locked in and ready to defend their crown in 2026.

At the top, the CiteConKingfishers have retained inaugural coach Luke Kennedy, the mastermind behind both championship campaigns. Also returning is inaugural captain and Queensland Country representative Sam Vassallo, alongside Darryn Dyer, the 2025 Mackay Senior Cricket 1st Grade Player of the Year.

Rounding out a powerful retention group is Under 20 player Jack Law, who claimed the Porters Mitre 10 Under 20 T20 Smash Bowling Award in January 2026.

After building a superstar squad in 2025 and going all the way, the Kingfishers will enter the 2026 draft with Pick 4. The big question now is: who do they add next?

Player nominations are still open and close Wednesday 24 June 2026.
