Biography
Has become quite the basketball journeyman, but after being a key part of the first two seasons at the Tasmania JackJumpers, is a significant signing for the South East Melbourne Phoenix.
Has good size at 196cm for someone largely who plays in the two spot with the ability to play at the three, and his defensive ability and intensity, and playmaking ability up the other end have always made him an exciting prospect.
After attending the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence in 2016, got his first chance in the NBL at the Brisbane Bullets for the 2016/17 season and played 22 games over two seasons there.
A knee injury sidelined him for 12 months before he played in the NBA G League in 2020 and played in the Waratah League (now NBL1 East) at the Central Coast Crusaders, and the Ballarat Miners of the NBL1 South in 2021.
That led him to being part of the inaugural Tasmania JackJumpers team for the 2021/22 NBL season and cemented himself as a key player in their Grand Final run becoming one of the elite defenders in the league.
Backed that up again in NBL23 with the JackJumpers and now will look to continue to make his mark with the Phoenix.
