Bandits make key signings for 2023

The Albury-Wodonga Bandits have made their first two signings, former Bandit Emma Mahady and NBL1 Central star Shaquille Maharaj. 

Last season Mahady played for the Diamond Valley Eagles, averaging 21 points in the NBL1 South. She spent the past WNBL season as a development player with the Sydney Flames and now is a practice player with the Bendigo Spirit.

In the interview, Mahady said he's excited to return to Albury.

"Albury's home. I'll always come back home," she said. 

"It's been 18 months since I've really lived in Albury and I enjoy it. Any chance I get to come back here I'll do it." 

Maharaj averaged 18 points per game with the Central District Lions and is set to bring in hard-nosed defence for the Bandits next season.
