Joseph Chilcott and Ashley Arlen have signed with USC Rip City for the 2022 Coles Express NBL1 North season.
Arlen, a 187cm centre from Cascade, Iowa, will join the Rip City women's team from Swedish club Wetterbygden.
"I’m so excited to be a part of Rip," Arlen said.
"Rip City really has a close family feel and that is so important.
"From supporting the youth clubs to the elite teams, I can’t wait to be part of that environment.
"Australia has always been somewhere I’ve wanted to play and I just feel so fortunate to have the chance to play in the Sunshine Coast."
25-year-old Chilcott, who has played eight seasons for the North West Thunder in NBL1 South, has migrated north for the winter.
Chilcott said the goal was to be an NBL1 North playoff contender and the Sunshine Coast lifestyle was an added bonus.
"I love the way the teams plays after watching them from last year," he said.
"I thought I could be another piece to help the team make another push deep into playoffs."
