Hare and Grant return as Raiders

The Knox Raiders have re-signed two cornerstones and leaders of the program, with Dylan Hare and Simon Grant returning for NBL1 South 2021.

Hare missed the inaugural season of NBL1 with injury, however was ready to go last season before the competition was called off.

Raiders head coach Dom Linossier knows that despite this time away from basketball, Hare will be ready to compete from round one.

"Dylan is a crafty veteran who has been putting in the work to adapt his game," Linossier said.

"He will be our leader at the defensive end, ready for the toughest matchup each week."

Grant had a terrific opening year of NBL1 with Knox, taking home Defensive Player of the Year and Coaches Award. However, it's not just on the court where he contributes.

"Simon is a passionate veteran who is a great mentor for our younger players," Linossier said.

"It's awesome to see his game continue to develop."
