Jack Jamieson Clayton (born 25 February 1999) is an Australian cricketer who plays for Queensland and the Brisbane Heat as a top-order batter.[1]
Clayton was offered a rookie contract by Queensland ahead of the 2020–21 season, which was renewed for 2021–22.[2]
In May 2022, Clayton was upgraded to a full contract by Queensland.[3]
During December 2021 and January 2022, the 2021–22 Big Bash League cricket tournament was impacted with multiple cases of COVID-19 being reported across several of the competing teams.[4][5] One of the teams to be severely affected by the outbreak was the Brisbane Heat.[6] As a result, only three players in the Heat's original squad were available for their match against the Melbourne Renegades at the GMHBA Stadium in Geelong on 6 January 2022.[6] With twelve players ruled out of the match due to COVID,[7] the Brisbane Heat assembled a new squad for the match, with as many as ten players in line to make their debut,[8] including Clayton.[9] Therefore, Clayton, along with David Grant, Ronan McDonald, Steve McGiffin, Will Prestwidge and Lachlan Pfeffer all made their Twenty20 debuts in the match for the Heat.[10] In the match, Clayton opened the batting, scoring fifteen runs, including three boundaries.[10][11]
Clayton is also a talented Australian Rules footballer, having previously played for the Brisbane Lions academy in second tier NEAFL.[12]
He made his first-class debut on 18 February 2022, for Queensland in the 2021–22 Sheffield Shield season.[13]
