Giants' 2021 season New Zealand recruit Dion Collins has re-signed with the Goldfields club for the 2022 NBL1 season.

Collins, a 203cm forward/centre has played professionally previously in Sweden for the Lulea Steelers where he averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds prior to the Covid-19 shutdown back in 2020 and also two seasons of college basketball in the US for the Culver-Stockton Wildcats.
