Biography
He grew up wiping the floors in Townsville, achieved his dream as the youngest ever captain at the Crocodiles and has only gone from strength to strength since ahead of a first NBL season with the Brisbane Bullets.
Having grown up in Townsville, he grew up attending Crocs match ups and even was a floor wiper for a period as he grew up as one of the best emerging talents in Queensland.
Got his first opportunity in the NBL with his hometown team during the 2011/12 season aged just 18 and would play his first 116 games with Townsville, was the club's youngest ever captain and only had to move on when the club ceased to exist.
Joined the Illawarra Hawks for the 2016/17 and 2017/18 NBL seasons cementing himself as a terrific playmaking point guard and one of the best and toughest defenders in the league.
Then made the move west to join the Perth Wildcats starting in the 2018/19 season and made his mark immediately including playing in championship teams of 2019 and 2020, being appointed vice-captain and remaining one of the most respected competitors in the league.
Now returns to his home state for a first season with the Bullets as a 30-year-old with 314 games in the NBL behind him.
