“That’s obviously a massive part of my reason to return to Mackay for 2024, going out there and winning a title,” he told Mackay. 

His Finals campaign was cut short with a late-season quadricep injury, but the club MVP is determined to come back even better after NBL24 

“Watching that quarter-final from the bench and having things end like that was really tough,” White said.

“The whole season we spoke about putting ourselves in a position to win a championship and worked collectively towards that, and to not be out on the floor to help the guys when it mattered most, it was difficult.”

The NBL1 North First Team member said the culture Mackay has built is outstanding, making it an easy decision to return.

“The environment in Mackay at an NBL1 level is second-to-none and it’s a place I know I’ll continue to get better in the NBL off-season.”

“The people drive the culture there and that’s really important for me when finding places to play.”

“JK’s (Head Coach Joel Khalu) style of play also suits my game and I think that was well reflected last season. I felt like I made some big strides as a player which in turn helped prepare me for the current NBL season.”

Currently averaging 8.3 points and shooting 44 percent from the field off the bench for the 5-5 Brisbane Bullets, White says NBL24 will be his primary focus in preparation for the 2024 NBL1 season. 

“My main focus right now is with the Brisbane Bullets and doing whatever I can to make our team successful in the NBL, but I’m looking forward to next year and being back around the boys in Mackay and competing for an NBL1 North championship.”
