Kicking the thread off with some important signings for the Wildcats.
Very happy to see them going back to basics and bringing some Perth guys home to build around.
Hopefully followed up with some talented college grads

www.wildcats.com.au

The Perth Wildcats have agreed to part ways with veteran duo Mitch Norton and Todd Blanchfield.

While the pair remained under contract, the club believes this decision is in the best interests of all parties moving forward.

Perth Wildcats General Manager of Basketball Operations Danny Mills issued the following statement.

“In what were two difficult decisions to make because of the quality of people and players both Mitch and Todd are, we believe this is the right decision for the club and in the best interests of the organisation’s long-term plans,” he said.
