TOM Kubank is the latest Castec Rural Pioneer to renew his contract, with the announcement this week he has signed on for the 2022 NBL1 South basketball season.
Kubank comes off a solid 2021 season where he averaged 11.15 points per game, with 44.7 per cent average from the field and a strong 6.92 rebounds per game.
Pioneers head coach Richard Hill is pleased with the signing of a player who contributed a great deal to the team.
“Tom is a versatile and high energy forward who demonstrated tremendous improvement as one of our most consistent performers last season,” Hill said.
“His speed and athleticism coupled with his ability to consistently knock down the three-point goals makes him a great fit in our system.”
Pioneers president Tom Kosch said he is pleased with the progress the club has made to till both the men’s and women’s rosters.
“We now have 10 players signed for 2022, with discussions continuing with a number of other players,” he said.
“This puts us in a much stronger position at this stage of the preparations for the next season than we have been for some years.
“We are confident this will help result in a really successful season in 2022.”
Kubank will be sponsored by new sponsor, Scroll Queen.
The Castec Rural Pioneers and the OneFortyOne Pioneers will commence their 2022 NBL1 South campaigns in April 2022.
