Robinson first arrived in Mount Gambier in 2013, following Titus spent some time abroad and returned to the Pioneers for the 2021 NBL1 South season which was later abandoned due to interstate COVID border closures.

Titus then returned to Mount Gambier part the way during the 2022 season and has since made the city his home with wife Janelle.

Robinson is excited to be back with the Pioneers family for 2025.

I am looking forward to this year to grow as a group and get back to the championship pedigree the club is used to,” said Robinson.

Head Coach, Richard Hill is wrapped that Robinson will once more suit up as a Pioneer.

“Who could have imagined when Titus joined us from College (in the US) in 2013 that he would become a local in 2024. A tremendous competitor and athlete Titus has had a great pro career. His commitment to the game is second to none.

Seeing Titus looking fit and strong on court gives me confidence that we will see his absolute best in 2025.” Hill said.

The NBL1 South season will commence their season in late March. A number of pre season tournaments and games will be annouced in coming weeks played throughout the Limestone Coast and Victoria.

The Pioneers will also participate in the NBL1 South Blitz held at the State Basketball Centre over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of March.
