IN another confidence building signing for the OneFortyOne Pioneers 21-year-old centre, Olivia Wormald has committed for a further year.

This important signing comes on the heels of OneFortyOne recently committing to continue as major sponsor of the Pioneers women’s program for another two years.

Head coach Matt Sutton was happy with the news Wormald was returning for the 2022 season.

“Olivia has been an important part of our basketball community since joining us in 2019,” Sutton said.

“Liv will have an important role in our group in the new season, she has been working hard on further developing her game to be ready for season 2022.”

In 2021, Wormald averaged just under 17 minutes court time each game but shot over 52 percent from the field with almost three rebounds a game.

The Pioneers expect Wormald to further strengthen her contribution to the team in the 2022 season.

The OneFortyOne Pioneers and the Castec Rural Pioneers will begin their 2022 NBL1 South campaigns in April 2022.
