Biography
The Sydney native has banged down the door for an NBL opportunity with three outstanding NBL1 East seasons with the Inner West Bulls and now his chance has come as a development player at the Cairns Taipans.
The 6'6 forward is now 24 years of age and has continued to improve year on year whether playing in the NBL1 East competition or also continuing to play in the UniSport University Basketball League where he's helped his team to three straight Grand Final appearances.
Having started his senior basketball journey in the Waratah League at the Sydney Comets, moved to the Inner West Bulls to be part of the NBL1 East competition in 2022 and has continued to flourish.
He has the ability to match it inside with the bigs at both ends of the floor and is a strong rebounder and defender along with finisher at the basket, but also athletic enough to get out and run in the open floor, and step out and shoot.
He averaged 11.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in his first season at Inner West in 2022 in 21.8 minutes a game before improving to 16.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in 27.6 minutes in 2023.
Had his career-best season in 2024 with 19.6 points and 8.8 rebounds in 29.5 minutes to be named to the All-First Team in the NBL1 East to now get his first NBL opportunity with Cairns.
