Breakers player Isaac Davidson is the first player to sign with the Franklin Bulls for the 2023 Sal’s NBL season.
Davidson will return for a fourth season with the Franklin outfit and is set to play 50 games for the franchise this year.
“We hope this season, Isaac will play his 50th game. It’s going to be a massive day in the life of the club,” said general manager Mika Vukona.
“As an integral piece in the inception of this club, we’re very blessed to have someone of Isaac’s calibre still here with us. We’re very excited to have him re-sign and build with us as we go into this season.”
New coach Daniel Sokolovsky said he found out very quickly after agreeing to take on the job how important Davidson is to the franchise.
“When the Breakers came to play a preseason game in Pukekohe, I was told that Isaac Davidson’s jersey would one day hang in the rafters of that gym,” Sokolovsky said. “That really raised an eyebrow for me, and it left a lasting impression of just how much Isaac means to this club, and this community.
“With that in mind, upon accepting the job, I knew that retaining Isaac as a member of the Bulls was absolutely vital.
“He embodies everything Franklin wants to be about, and he will be a perfect fit within our style of play. His versatility and skill set at his size is unique, and he plays with an intelligence that will be invaluable to our offense.
“There’s a reason Isaac has represented New Zealand with the Tall Blacks and been an invaluable member of the Breakers. I can’t wait to create a platform for Isaac to fully demonstrate his abilities and help to bring winning basketball to Franklin.”
The Sal’s NBL season begins in early April.
