Previously at the Sydney Sixers, making her WBBL debut at just 15 years of age, the 18-year-old has played 35 games in the competition.
Making her Tasmanian Tigers debut last season, getting a wicket in her first over, Silver-Holmes is ready to make the transition to the Hurricanes.
"I've had such a great time in my first year in Tassie," Silver-Holmes said.
"Even though I was injured and in the rehab group for a lot of the pre-season and last WBBL season too, I learnt so much from being fully immersed in the program, so it just makes sense for me to also continue my T20 cricket down here.
"It's also a really good opportunity for me to work on and hopefully contribute with the bat more."
All-rounder Silver-Holmes joins Nicola Carey, Maisy Gibson, Heather Graham, Ruth Johnston, Emma Manix-Geeves, Amy Smith, Molly Strano, Rachel Trenaman and Elyse Villani as players currently contracted for WBBL08, which starts in October.
