Goldfields Giants seeking players for 2008

The Goldfields Giants currently have positions available on our roster for the 2008 WA State Basketball League (SBL) season. The Giants are the defending champions after winning their first title this year.

With the loss of a couple of players from our 2007 Grand Final-winning team, we are looking to replace at least one roster spot with an Australian player of quality, preferably someone who can play the 3, 4 or 5 spot. However we will consider any player who has the attributes to contribute towards the team, and to help us in our quest to win a second straight championship.

For those unfamiliar with our team or the league, the Giants are based in Kalgoorlie in regional Western Australia and have played in three of the last four SBL Grand Finals. Kalgoorlie is the gold mining capital of Australia and is currently experiencing the mining and industrial boom that is being felt throughout the country.

We regard our club as one of the most dynamic and professionally-run basketball clubs in Australia outside of the NBL, and we will be doing what we can to field a team capable of winning a championship in 2008.

For any prospective player, a move to Kalgoorlie and to the Giants will not only reap rewards in a basketball sense, but also in a career sense, in particular with the abundance of jobs available in the region and the associated skills shortage it has created.

Assistance with employment, accommodation and relocation can be negotiated to players who feel they can make a valuable contribution to our team.

If you are interested in playing in a great regional city, alongside a fantastic group of guys, and in front of the best fans in the SBL, please email us at admin@goldfieldsgiants.com for more information. Alternatively you can fax us on 08-90213373.

Just a side note:

The WA State League is sometimes referred to as the unofficial western conference of the ABA and the quality of the league is similar to Big V/Central/Waratah. Twelve of the 13 teams in 2007 played with at least one import, with 8 of those teams fielding two imports. There were also 9 NBL players competing.

Three players who have recently played with us have gone on to play NBL - Brad Williamson (Bullets), Brent Hobba (Wildcats, Dragons) & Ash Cannan (Dragons).
