“Every kid dreams of playing in big games in front of huge crowds, and this year it’s really special to know I can have that opportunity with United. It’s going to take a lot of hard work but I’m ready to do that to make my dreams come true.”
Aliir’s contract includes a club option to elevate the 23-year-old into the main roster for the NBL26 season.
