During the NBL1 offseason, we will be keeping track of all the latest signings, moves and hirings across the country.

To see all the updates, follow the 2024 NBL1 Roster Tracker here. 

Check out all the signings from the past week below:

Glenn Morison 

2023 NBL1 East All-Star Five member Glenn Morison has put pen to paper to return to the Canberra Gunners for 2024. 

Claiming the inaugural conference title and Finals MVP in 2022, Morison became a star of the competition – leading his team of Canberra locals to the title against the Maitland Mustangs. 

Last season he averaged 19.7 points, 10 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game for the Gunners, eventually losing to the Mustangs in the Semi-Finals. 

Dubbed the “Brindabella Beacon”, the fan-favourite returns as the first signing for the club, later being joined by WNBL star Lizzy Tonks for the Canberra Nationals.

Ricardo Martin

Last playing in the NBL1 in 2022 for the Southern Tigers, Ricardo Martin returns to NBL1 Central with the South Adelaide Panthers. 

The now-naturalised 6’8” forward will be a major addition to the roster alongside returning MVP Jeremy Smith. Martin averaged 14.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in his last NBL1 season.

Upon signing, Toeaina said she could not wait to join the Wolves for 2024. 

“Thank you to Joondalup & Coach Jesse for the opportunity to further my career in the NBL1,” she told the Wolves.

“Being a powerhouse within the league I look forward to competing each game at a high level. The support from the Wolfpack is unlike any other and I can’t wait to better my game with a group of girls that are hungry to win. I’m returning with a different coloured jersey but with the same mentality to dominate.”

Randy Bell

The Goldfields Giants have signed American guard Randy Bell for the 2024 season. 

The 6’3” (193cm) guard will head to Western Australia for next season after two years in the Indonesia Basketball League – averaging 20.4 points and 6.7 rebounds.

He played four years at division II school Dalton State College, where he won 2019-2020 NAIA conference title and was named first-team All-American conference player of the year. 

He told the Giants he cannot wait to play in Australia.

“I'm open to a lot of things in the basketball world,” he said.

“I love to travel, I love playing in different countries and learning different cultures, so NBL1 was definitely on my list.”
