“I’m really excited about the opportunity to join the Thunder family. It feels like a great fit for both me and my family. Logan Basketball has built a strong, successful environment, but what stands out even more is their commitment to development and doing things the right way. I’m grateful for the chance to be part of it and look forward to helping elevate the program to be one of the best not just in Queensland, but across Australia.”
Martin will commence with Logan Basketball in late May.
