The Franklin Bulls have announced the signing of Tall Blacks guard/forward Ethan Rusbatch for the 2024 Sal’s NBL season.

Following last week’s re-signing of swingman Isaac Davidsion, the Bulls add another international quality player in the form of the sharp-shooting Rusbatch.

Christchurch-based, Rusbatch has spent the past few seasons at Hawke’s Bay and has previously played with the Sharks, Rams and Airs but links up with a Bulls side that were a game away from a Grand Final appearance in 2023.

“We are over the moon that Ethan has decided to head to Pukekohe for the 2024 NBL,” said co-founder Jamie Reddish.

“He’s a player we have followed and always been interested in signing. He is truly a sniper and has set the Stockyard alight on more than one occasion. We are just glad he’s with us now!”
