Harvey returns to lead the Hawks in their NBL25 Championship pursuit.

The Illawarra Hawks are delighted to announce the re-signing of Tyler Harvey, the Californian-raised Combo Guard who has become a beloved figure in the Illawarra community. 

Harvey has inked a three-year deal with the team, solidifying his commitment to the Hawks after the Club's remarkable NBL24 run under Head Coach Justin Tatum.  

Harvey's new agreement, which will extend his Hawks tenure into a seventh season, includes his intention to naturalise as an Australian, highlighting his love of the lifestyle in the Illawarra and potentially paving the way for an additional import spot on the Hawks roster in the future.  

Since joining the Hawks in the 2020-2021 season, Harvey has been one of the league's leading offensive talents. In his 125-game NBL career to date, he has averaged 17.6 points, three assists and three rebounds per game and was an All-NBL First Team member in his debut season with the Hawks. 

Mat Campbell, the General Manager of Basketball, emphasised Harvey's importance to the team, organization, community and member base.  

Head Coach Justin Tatum praised Harvey's commitment and enthusiasm for building on the squad's growth in the NBL24 season.   

Tyler Harvey expressed his excitement surrounding the resigning, putting it simply, “There’s no place like the Gong. I mean HOME.”
