Sydney Flame signs with Red City Roar

The NBL1 North Red City Roar are loading up for next season, announcing the signing of Sydney Flame Lilly Rotunno for the upcoming 2023 season.

Rotunno played with the Gold Coast Rollers last season, averaging 10 points and 4.5 assists as one of the youngest guards in the competition.

“I am super excited for the NBL1 this upcoming season, coming off the back of my current WNBL rookie season with the Sydney Flames,” she said.

“After transitioning from junior basketball to training and playing in a professional environment, it has been amazing for my development in becoming an elite point guard."

This has made me super excited to sign with Red City as now I have the opportunity to play a bigger role in this upcoming season's future success."

Rotunno joins head coach Cassie Dover and Jaylen Cooper for the women’s side for 2023.

While the men’s side has retained a lot of their talent from the previous season, head coach Colby Stefanovic has brought in Mitch Poulain, Kane Bishop and Alec Godinet for 2023.
