Early life[]
Fenby was born on 23 November 1998 in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham.[2]
Domestic career[]
Fenby made her county debut in 2013, for Durham against Lancashire.[3] Fenby was quickly successful for the side, and was the joint-leading wicket-taker for Durham in both the 2015 and 2016 County Championships, with 13 wickets in both seasons.[4][5] In 2015, Fenby took two four-wicket hauls, including her List A best bowling figures of 4/11 against Scotland.[6][7][8] In 2018, Fenby was again Durham's County Championship joint-leading wicket-taker, again with 13 wickets.[9]
In 2020, Durham merged with Northumberland to form the North East Warriors.[10] Although the side has not played any competitive matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fenby captained the side in two friendlies against Scotland in 2020.[11]
Fenby also played for Yorkshire Diamonds in the Women's Cricket Super League in 2018 and 2019. She played 12 matches across the two seasons, taking 6 wickets, including her Twenty20 best bowling figures of 4/20 in a match against Surrey Stars in 2019.[2][12]
In 2020, Fenby played for Northern Diamonds in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in two matches, but did not take a wicket.[13] She has also signed to play for Northern Superchargers in The Hundred.[14]
