Biography
Has returned home to Western Australia to join the Perth Wildcats for the 2023/24 season, having started his NBL career with Melbourne United.
The now 21-year-old forward, who stands 6'10, was always an exciting talent growing up in Perth, but moved to Melbourne as a teenager and then signed at United to begin his NBL career.
Started as a development player in the 2021/22 season, after turning down 20 Division I college offers and wanted to start his professional career immediately as an 18-year-old.
Went on to play 36 games with United over the past two seasons, including averaging 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in over 14 minutes in 2022/23, where he showed he could more than hold his own in the NBL.
The 20-year-old who is a renowned rebounder and shot blocker with a nice shooting touch will now look to embrace playing back in his hometown with the Wildcats, from NBL24 and beyond.
