Northside re-signs 2021 coaches for second NBL1 North season

The Northsize Wizards have announced that Nick Roberts and Rebecca Stephens will be leading their NBL1 North Men's and Women's teams, respectively.

In a stellar first year back in the league, Roberts brought multiple talents to ‘The Cauldron’ including the likes of Mitch McCarron and Jack Salt.

On being re-appointed, Roberts said: "I am grateful for the opportunity that the association has given me.

"I am looking forward to getting back out there with the guys and improve on our first year in the league with a successful and exciting 2022 campaign."

President Brett Anderson said: "The Wizards are thrilled to bring back Nick to lead the 2022 season for our NBL1 Men’s team.

"Nick has a long history of loyalty to our club and we believe there is no one better to continue our pursuit of excellence as an NBL1 program and association.

After leading a young group to the finals last season, the Wizards are excited to see Stephends back at the front of their Women’s program.

Speaking about her re-signing, Stephens said: "I am very excited to be able to build on the foundations we set last season and keep moving towards our goal of being the most professional and successful club in the state.

"After what we were able to achieve in our first year in the league, I’m expecting a very exciting 2022 season."

President Brett Anderson said: "The club is really excited about what we were able to achieve last season.

"It was a great re-entry for Wizards back into the premier league in the state.

"It is great that we have our NBL1 Head Coaches back on board to continue to build on the momentum that was started last year."
