Athletic recruit signs

Castec Rural Supplies Pioneers add to roster

Castec Rural Pioneers are excited to announce the signing of 24-year-old, 203cm Power Forward, Chris Seeley from the United States.

Seeley played College basketball for the University of Utah, Fresno State University and California State University Dominguez Hill over five years from 2016.

In 2022/23 Seeley played professionally in Kosovo where he averaged 16 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 10 games.

Seeley is another important signing for the Pioneers and is the culmination of extensive research by head coach Richard Hill.

“He’s talented, athletic and fits the profile of our young fresh and ambitious team,” Hill said. “At 6’8” with multi skills he will fit perfectly into our system.

“I am looking forward to working with Chris to help him achieve his goals whilst helping us compete in what is shaping up as a very competitive NBL1 South.”

Seeley is expected to arrive in Mount Gambier later this month in readiness for the Pioneers first pre-season games.

1 & 2, on Friday, April 14.

Concordes United doing a fantastic job on the mound for her first pitch of the season and Sarah Niuewenhuizen and Cody Manning pitching strongly for Demons.
