Gators sign import

Brian Adams (Altona BA)

The Altona Gators have signed import Brian Adams for this year’s Big V men’s division 1 season.

Having won the division 2 grand final in a thriller last season, the Gators are hoping to continue the momentum this season in a higher division.

Adams comes to the Gators from America, where has recently finished his college playing career at the University of La Verne.

In his final season he averaged 14.4 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal per game.

Adams originates from the Bronx in New York.

He is a 6’4” combo guard, who can score at multiple levels and defend at a high level too.

“I’m excited and grateful to join the Altona Gators and can’t wait to start my professional journey with a great team,” he said in the Gators Facebook post.

“Thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to see all the Gator fans.”

Gators coach Josh Turton said he’s excited to have Adams on board for this season.

“We are lucky to have Brian join us for the 2024 campaign, we felt as if we had some gaps in our line up and Brian is the right guy to fill those gaps and more,” he said.

“He brings a grit, toughness and competitiveness that will fit our group perfectly. I can’t wait to get BA on the court”.

Adams is set to arrive in Australia on February 15.

He is the first signing announced by the Gators ahead of the season getting underway next month.
