Biography
The 23-year-old Kiwi forward has joined his local New Zealand Breakers for the first time, signing on as a development player on the back of a standout NZ NBL season in 2023.
It is the second club that the exciting and athletic forward has been with in the NBL having had an initial stint at the Illawarra Hawks, but he now gets his first opportunity with the Breakers having only continued to develop.
Originally from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, he spent most of his childhood growing up in New Zealand, before starting to play as a teenager in the NZ NBL at the Canterbury Rams.
He then elected to bypass college and begin playing professionally as an 18-year-old in Croatia with KK Vrijednosnixe Osijek. He spent two seasons there before joining the Hawks in the NBL for the 2020/21 season.
He appeared in 14 games, before then moving on to ABC Athletic Constanta in Romania where he averaged 9.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 24 games in the 2021/22 season.
He has continued to play at the Rams in the NZ NBL each of the past three seasons including being a key player on their 2023 championship team, where he had 12.9 points and 5.4 rebounds ahead of now joining the Breakers for the first time.
