Biography
The 24-year-old dynamic and explosive guard has been banging down the door for the chance that he's now getting with the Illawarra Hawks.
After growing up in the regional NSW town of Cowra, has had quite the journey to now, becoming a player getting regular NBL minutes and showing that he more than belongs out on the court.
His first NBL opportunity came as a development player at the South East Melbourne Phoenix for the 2019/20 season, but he only managed to hit the court on two occasions.
Then following a standout 2021 NBL1 South season at the Ballarat Miners, he received another NBL opportunity as a development player with Melbourne United.
He made seven appearances with United in that 2021/22 season, before another strong NBL1 South season this time at the Casey Cavaliers.
That saw him receive another development player deal with the Illawarra Hawks for NBL23. He ended up becoming a key part of their back court rotation as the season unfolded, playing 24 games and averaging 4.8 points and 2.8 rebounds.
He remained in the 'Gong to play in the NBL1 East season for the Hawks and now is ready to continue to show what he's capable of in the league.
