Comes from a famous basketball family and is the younger brother of Tall Blacks star Isaac. Was identified early as an exciting prospect joining the Breakers Academy aged 14 and winning back-to-back National Secondary Schools Basketball titles with Rangitoto College in 2015 and 2016.
Joined the Breakers as a development player in the 2017/18 season, before then starting his college career at St Mary's in California. Over four years, the versatile and gifted forward averaged 5.8 points and 3.4 rebounds a game across 126 matches before graduating in 2022.
Was hot property coming out of college, but decided to return home to play with the Breakers and signed a two-year deal.
Made 14 appearances in 2022/23 as part of the team that made the Championship Series while continuing his family's legacy wearing No. 42 and will look to build on that further now in NBL24.
