Australia players and officials - select an initial letter: Steve Magoffin Australia
Full name Steven James Magoffin
Thin, tall and fast, Steve Magoffin is a successful Western Australian import who has stepped comfortably into the first-class arena since leaving Queensland. With the state's bowling stocks faltering, the Warriors looked to Magoffin, who was a Queensland Academy of Sport player, and he made his debut in 2004-05, playing every Pura Cup match and adding 28 wickets at 35.10. At 194cm, Magoffin has a similar frame to his mentor Greg Rowell, the former Australia A bowler, and he is an especially intimidating prospect on the WACA. He can also swing the ball and has been responsible for big hauls, including a career-best 8 for 47 against South Australia in 2005-06. He finished the season with 25 victims at 25.52 and then spent the winter in England, where he starred against the touring Sri Lankans with 4 for 14 in their warm-up game against the Sir Paul Getty XI. He continued his impressive run last summer with his biggest haul, collecting 33 wickets at 27.57. Magoffin was also equal third on the Ford Ranger Cup tally with 15 victims at 23.73. A part-time Academy scholarship holder in 2001, Magoffin, who is a level two coach, was a consistent wicket-taker for Queensland in the national 2nd XI competition before moving west despite being offered a contract with his home state.
