FAMILY: Steindl’s wife is former Perth Lynx player Kayla Standish.

NBL EXPERIENCE

Clint Steindl made his NBL debut with the Cairns Taipans at 23 years of age. He scored eight points in his first game.

In 2012, Clint Steindl returned to Australia and joined the Cairns Taipans, where he spent two seasons. He made a solid impact in the NBL, gaining valuable experience and further developing his skill set. In 2014, he moved to the Townsville Crocodiles, where he played two seasons and earned the NBL Most Improved Player award in 2016 after achieving career-best numbers of 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 0.9 steals per game while shooting an impressive 39.2% from beyond the arc.

2012/13
In his first season with the Cairns Taipans, Steindl averaged 4.1 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.5 assists, helping the team finish in sixth place with an 11-17 record.

2013/14
Steindl showed steady improvement in his second season with Cairns, posting averages of 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. His increased production contributed to the Taipans finishing in fifth place with a 12-16 record, showcasing his role as a key rotation player.

TOWNSVILLE CROCODILES
2014/15

Steindl initially expressed an interest in playing in Europe; however, he ultimately joined the Townsville Crocodiles for the 2014–15 NBL season. Townsville aimed to bounce back in Shawn Dennis’ second year as head coach, retaining star import Brian Conklin and adding talent such as Todd Blanchfield and Mitchell Norton. Veteran leaders Peter Crawford and Russell Hinder were not re-signed, and underperforming import Joshua Pace was replaced with former NBA shot blocker Mickell Gladness. Dennis also brought in Steindl and New Zealand native Leon Henry to bolster the roster.

While the Crocs found some success at home, their road struggles persisted. Townsville recorded a winning home record of 8-6 for the first time since 2012 but managed only three wins on the road, leading to an 11-17 overall record. High points of the season included Blanchfield’s breakout, with averages of 14.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists, which earned him the NBL’s Most Improved Player award and a spot on the All-NBL Second Team. Conklin, meanwhile, enjoyed a stellar year, averaging 18.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 50.7% from the field. He finished fourth in the league in scoring, including a standout 33-point, 11-rebound performance in a close loss to Cairns (79-75). Conklin’s efforts were rewarded with the NBL MVP award and an All-NBL First Team selection.

Steindl was a regular contributor for Townsville, appearing in 28 games and averaging 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.

2015/16
Off-court issues and financial instability created a challenging environment for the Crocodiles, complicating player recruitment. Townsville saw the departure of Todd Blanchfield, who moved to Melbourne United, while Dennis sought replacements by recruiting talent willing to work with limited resources. This included the signings of Nicholas Kay, a returning college player, and veterans such as Luke Schenscher, Corey Maynard, and Mitchell Young.

The season began with back-to-back losses against Melbourne United (84-99) and New Zealand (81-89) but was followed by a surprise turnaround as Townsville defeated Sydney (80-77) and Perth (66-63) in consecutive rounds. However, their struggles resumed, and they suffered a 31-point loss to Melbourne, ending the early season on a 2-9 record. Controversy struck when Conklin’s elbow incident with Perth guard Damian Martin during Townsville’s 89-77 victory led to a public outcry. Despite calls for suspension, the NBL cleared Conklin of wrongdoing. A similar incident with Mitch Creek of the Adelaide 36ers saw Conklin receive a three-game suspension, with two of those games deferred for the rest of the season.

Facing financial constraints, Townsville terminated Conklin’s contract in November, citing “sub-par performances.” Conklin, who averaged 13.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists, later spoke out, suggesting that cost-cutting was the real reason for his release. Omar Samhan was subsequently brought in, adding averages of 13 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.1 blocks. Additionally, Schenscher faced ongoing injury issues, leading the Crocs to sign junior program alum Harry Froling as an injury replacement player.

Despite these challenges, Townsville’s resilience shone through, with Jett leading the team in scoring at 15.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.3 assists, while young guard Mirko Djeric made significant strides, contributing 5.3 points per game. The season’s highlight was a dramatic buzzer-beater victory over Adelaide, cementing Townsville’s fighting spirit in a memorable finish.

Townsville ended the season with an 11-17 record, including an 8-6 home record but only three road wins. Jett was awarded the Kevin Sugars Medal as the team’s MVP, with Steindl appearing in all 28 games, averaging 12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. The team’s overachievement under tough circumstances was recognized with Shawn Dennis receiving the NBL’s Coach of the Year award.

Kay took home Rookie of the Year honors (10.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 assists), and Steindl’s strong season earned him the Most Improved Player title (12.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists). However, due to the inability to secure enough financial support, the Crocs were ultimately disbanded. Kay and Norton signed with Illawarra, Young joined Brisbane, and Steindl, along with Djeric, moved overseas. Coach Dennis continued his career in Japan’s national league, and Schenscher retired.

After the Crocodiles folded, Steindl spent time in Belgium and Greece to further hone his skills. In 2017, he returned to the NBL, signing with the Perth Wildcats and beginning a new chapter in his professional career.

PERTH WILDCATS
2017/18

Perth successfully re-signed Grand Final MVP Bryce Cotton but lost two-time Club MVP Casey Prather, who pursued NBA opportunities and was unable to commit to the Wildcats’ season. Perth signed Devondrick Walker to fill the void, though Walker suffered a foot injury during the pre-season. This prompted the team to replace him with JP Tokoto. Other roster changes included Derek Cooke Jr replacing Jameel McKay and Lucas Walker moving up from a training player role to a full-time squad member in place of the retired Shawn Redhage.

The Wildcats started the season with a 10–3 record, including a milestone 200th game for Greg Hire (who became the 11th Wildcat to reach the mark) before he was sidelined for five games due to a low-grade calf strain. Hire’s injury coincided with the team’s slide to a 13–9 record by mid-January.

Matthew Knight (5.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.6 assists) publicly announced his retirement plans, which were brought forward after sustaining three early-season head knocks, forcing him to retire in early November after playing just five games. Perth also lost Damian Martin (4.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.5 steals) for two games with an ankle injury on 14 December. The team also faced injuries to Clint Steindl (2.8 points, 1.3 rebounds) and Greg Hire (2.1 points, 2 rebounds, 0.6 assists), contributing to the Wildcats’ drop to 13–9 by mid-January. Despite the setbacks, Cooke Jr (5.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists) remained with the team through the season, and when the roster returned to full health, Perth finished the regular season in third place with a 16–12 record.

Steindl joined the team partway through the season, seeing limited playing time and averaging 2.8 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.3 assists.

As the finals approached, Martin was named the league’s Best Defensive Player for a record-breaking sixth time. Tokoto (15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals) earned a spot on the All-NBL Second Team, and Cotton (19.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals) was selected for the All-NBL First Team and was named league MVP, joining Paul Rogers (2000) and Kevin Lisch (2012) as the third Wildcat to win the prestigious award.

In game one of the semi-finals against second-seeded Adelaide 36ers, Perth was decisively beaten (109–74), marking their second-largest finals loss in club history. Their worst finals defeat had come in 1989 against North Melbourne (by 55 points). Game two was a close contest, but Perth fell short by one point (88–89), which ended their pursuit of a third consecutive championship.

2018/19
Perth re-signed Bryce Cotton to a three-year deal during the off-season and added Nick Kay and Mitch Norton (from Illawarra), former Wildcat Tom Jervis (from Brisbane), and new import Terrico White (from Korea). These signings led to the departures of Lucas Walker, Jarrod Kenny, and Dexter Kernich-Drew, who joined Cairns. Rhys Vague was promoted to the full-time roster after four years as a development player.

The Wildcats traveled to the United States for pre-season games against NBA teams Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets. They suffered a heavy loss (130–72) to the Jazz, but Coach Trevor Gleeson believed it served as the catalyst for the team’s eventual success. They then narrowly lost to Denver (96–88), gaining valuable experience.

Perth started the season with a dominant 10–1 record but was hit by injuries. Captain Damian Martin (5.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.6 steals) suffered a right calf tear, sidelining him for six games. Angus Brandt (8.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists) also missed three games in November due to an ankle injury. These setbacks led to a dip in form, and by mid-January, Perth’s record had fallen to 12–9 after losing eight of their last ten games.

Despite external pressure to make roster changes, the Wildcats’ coaching staff opted to stick with the existing roster. As the team returned to full health, they bounced back with three consecutive wins, regaining the top spot on the ladder with an 18–10 record.

Perth’s star players were Bryce Cotton (21.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals), who was both the league MVP and leading scorer, and Nick Kay (14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals), who delivered the best season of his career. Both players earned spots on the All-NBL First Team. Despite battling injuries early in the season, Terrico White (17.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists) emerged as a key contributor by season’s end.

Clint Steindl (6.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists) had a much larger role this season, playing in 34 games and becoming a crucial sharpshooter off the bench. Steindl’s standout performances included scoring 16 points (4-5 three-pointers) against Brisbane Bullets on 13 January 2019, 15 points (5-6 three-pointers) against New Zealand Breakers on 20 January 2019, and 12 points (4-7 three-pointers) against Sydney Kings on 29 December 2018. Throughout the season, Steindl shot 41% from the three-point line, impressively shooting better from deep than his 40% from two-point range.

In the semi-finals, Perth faced Brisbane. In Game 1 (89–59), Bryce Cotton (19 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists) and Terrico White (24 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist) led the Wildcats to victory, with Steindl (11 points, 3 rebounds) contributing key shooting to stretch the floor. Cameron Gliddon (18 points, 4 rebounds) was Brisbane’s top scorer. In Game 2 (84–79), White (24 points, 3 rebounds) led Perth in scoring, Cotton (19 points, 10 assists) posted his first career double-double, and Steindl (5 points, 2 rebounds) made solid contributions, sending Perth to the Grand Final against Melbourne.

In the Grand Final series, Perth faced reigning champions Melbourne United. Game 1 (81-71) was a hard-fought win for Perth, despite Cotton (10 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists) being limited offensively. White (19 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists) and Steindl (9 points, 3 rebounds) provided crucial performances, including key three-point shooting. Melbourne’s top scorers were Casper Ware (19 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Chris Goulding (15 points, 2 assists).

Game 2 (92-74) saw Melbourne bounce back with strong performances across the board from Ware (14 points, 2 assists), Goulding (14 points, 2 rebounds), DJ Kennedy (12 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists), and David Barlow (11 points, 4 rebounds), evening the series. Despite contributions from Steindl (6 points, 2 rebounds), Cotton (19 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists), and White (17 points, 4 rebounds), Perth couldn’t match Melbourne’s offensive efficiency.

In Game 3 (95-67), Perth dominated with White (31 points, 7 rebounds) and Cotton (27 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists) combining for 58 points, nearly outscoring Melbourne by themselves. Steindl (8 points, 2 rebounds) provided key shooting to stretch the floor. Melbourne’s Kennedy (13 points, 10 rebounds) and Barlow (13 points, 5 rebounds) were the only bright spots.

In Game 4 (97-84), Perth clinched the title with another stellar performance from Cotton (28 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals) and White (20 points, 8 rebounds). Steindl (7 points, 2 rebounds) also contributed valuable minutes off the bench. Despite strong performances from Ware (18 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) and Goulding (15 points, 4 assists), Melbourne fell short, handing Perth their championship win. White was named Grand Final MVP after averaging 21.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists over the four-game series.

PERTH WILDCATS
2019/20

Perth’s off-season began with a major move, re-signing four-time championship-winning coach Trevor Gleeson (three-year deal), along with five-time championship-winning duo Damian Martin and Jesse Wagstaff, and import Terrico White. Six members of the championship-winning squad returned, with Wani Swaka Lo Buluk elevated from development player to full-time roster to replace the retired Greg Hire. The team also added Dario Hunt and Majok Majok to replace big men Tom Jervis and Angus Brandt, both of whom moved to Europe.

The Wildcats opened the season strongly with a 5–1 record, but by round 10, they found themselves at 8–5 after back-to-back losses. They regrouped with four straight wins and ended December with a 13–6 record. In December, Damian Martin played his 300th game for the Wildcats before suffering a left heel injury that sidelined him for the entire month of January. Following back-to-back losses to begin 2020, the Wildcats released Dario Hunt (8.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists) and signed NBA veteran Miles Plumlee (9.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks) to provide the necessary inside presence. Plumlee’s impact was immediately felt, highlighted by a 23-point, 18-rebound performance in Perth’s win over New Zealand (80–79), making him the first Wildcat to post 20+ points and 15+ rebounds in a game since 2007.

With seven games remaining and Plumlee needing to play all of them to qualify for the postseason, the Wildcats won six of seven games, securing a second-place finish (19–9) and their 34th consecutive finals appearance. Bryce Cotton (22.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists) had another stellar season, leading the league in scoring for the third consecutive year, while Nick Kay (15 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals) delivered a breakout campaign.

In the semifinals, Perth defeated Cairns (2–1) to reach their 15th NBL Grand Final. In Game 1 (88–86), Cotton (32 points) and Kay (14 points, 6 rebounds) were instrumental in securing a victory in front of 11,647 fans at RAC Arena. However, due to coronavirus concerns, all remaining games were played behind closed doors. In Game 2, Sydney evened the series (1-1), as Jae’Sean Tate (21 points) and Andrew Bogut (24 points, 14 rebounds) led the Kings to victory.

Game 3 of the Grand Final series saw Kay (30 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists) set a career-high, including seven three-pointers, while Cotton (31 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists) also shone, leading Perth to a 111–96 victory. Before Game 4, Sydney withdrew from the series due to concerns over coronavirus and travel restrictions, leading to Perth being awarded the championship with a 2–1 series lead. Cotton, who averaged 30.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists across the three games, was named Grand Final MVP for the second time in four years, making history as the first player in Wildcats history to be named both league MVP and Grand Final MVP in the same season.

Steindl’s role continued to grow this season, as his numbers increased to 9.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game. His increased contributions were critical to the Wildcats’ championship run, showcasing his ability as a versatile scorer and dependable shooter.

2020/21
After winning the previous season’s Grand Final following Sydney’s withdrawal, Perth encountered a challenging start to NBL21 as COVID-19 restrictions continued to affect the league. The Wildcats lost key players Terrico White and Nick Kay to overseas offers and signed John Mooney to fill the gap in the frontcourt. However, when the NBL reduced the number of import roster spots from three to two, Perth was unable to re-sign Miles Plumlee. After multiple delays to the season start, the competition began without a fixed schedule, with teams learning their fixtures week by week due to travel restrictions.

Perth struggled during this period, sitting in seventh place after five rounds. The league decided to relocate all teams to Melbourne to play the NBL Cup, in an effort to continue the season while managing the COVID-19 disruptions.

During the NBL Cup, Bryce Cotton (23.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals) elevated his game, which allowed Todd Blanchfield (15.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists) to have a career-best season. Blanchfield set a Wildcats record for most three-pointers made in a season, and paired with Mooney (16.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.3 steals), they formed a potent trio that led Perth back to the top of the ladder.

As the season neared its conclusion, it seemed the Wildcats were poised to win their third consecutive championship. However, Cotton suffered a season-ending injury during a loss to Melbourne (64–78) in their final regular-season game. Despite this setback, Cotton was named the league’s Most Valuable Player but was unable to play in the playoffs.

After Melbourne overtook Perth for the top spot in round 13, the Wildcats (25–11) finished second. They then faced Illawarra in the semi-finals, where, after dropping Game 1 (72–74), they responded with Game 2 (79–71) thanks to a strong performance from Luke Travers (13 points, 10 rebounds) and John Mooney (18 points, 10 rebounds). In Game 3 (79–71), Blanchfield (24 points, 5 rebounds) and Mitchell Norton (15 points, 4 rebounds) stepped up in Cotton’s absence to lift the Wildcats to victory.

In the Grand Final, Perth faced Melbourne, who had finished the regular season in first place. In Game 1 (70–73), Melbourne edged Perth out, with Chris Goulding (21 points) and Jock Landale (12 points, 17 rebounds) leading the way. Game 2 (74–83) saw the Wildcats fall short again, despite a strong effort from Blanchfield (27 points, 7 rebounds).

In the deciding Game 3 (81–76), played in front of a sellout crowd of 5,000 at John Cain Arena, Jock Landale (15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists, 2 blocks) dominated, earning Finals MVP honors as Melbourne claimed their sixth NBL championship. Despite this, Steindl (6.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists) remained a key part of Perth’s bench rotation, playing in all 38 games and contributing valuable minutes throughout the season.

TASMANIA JACKJUMPERS
2021/22

After a successful run with the Perth Wildcats under coach Trevor Gleeson, where he was utilized as a sharp-shooter off the bench, Clint Steindl’s contract with the Wildcats ended in 2021. He then engaged in talks with the league’s newest franchise, the Tasmania JackJumpers, who were looking to build a young and promising core. Tasmania offered Steindl a multi-year deal, which made his decision to move to Tasmania for his ninth NBL season an easy one. At 33 years old, Steindl became the most experienced player on the JackJumpers roster, boasting eight seasons and 237 games in the NBL. He was named the team’s captain in their inaugural season.

The JackJumpers’ debut season started with low expectations, with some bookmakers offering 400:1 odds on them winning the championship. However, they shocked the league in their NBL debut on 3 December 2021, defeating Brisbane (83–74) in overtime to kick off the season in grand fashion.

Following this win, the newly formed squad struggled to find consistency, and by round eight, Tasmania had only won two games and sat in ninth place (2-6). A season-ending injury to marquee signing Will Magnay further complicated their situation, forcing coach Scott Roth to adjust their game plan from relying on perimeter shooting to adopting a more balanced offensive approach. This shift worked wonders as the team finished strong with 10 wins in their last 12 games, ending the regular season in fifth place (17–11).

The JackJumpers’ fate took a turn for the better when the South East Melbourne Phoenix defeated the Perth Wildcats in the final game of the season, allowing Tasmania to leapfrog Perth and finish in fourth place on points percentage.

Steindl played a pivotal role in the team’s success, averaging 9.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists. In the semifinals, the JackJumpers faced the reigning champions and first-place Melbourne United, who were not expected to be challenged by the underdog squad.

Tasmania lost Game 1 on Melbourne’s home court (74–63) but returned to their own court to even the series (1–1). Heading into the deciding Game 3, Tasmania received a stroke of luck when Melbourne’s captain Chris Goulding was sidelined due to injury. In a dramatic finish, the JackJumpers won Game 3 (76–73), sending them to the Grand Final series.

In the Grand Final, the Sydney Kings, who had defeated the Illawarra Hawks 2–0, dominated in Game 1 with a 95–78 victory. Game 2 saw JackJumpers fan-favorite Josh Adams erupt for 36 points in front of a sell-out crowd, but Sydney held firm with standout performances from Xavier Cooks (20 points) and Jarrell Martin (20 points, 80% shooting), along with Dejan Vasiljevic, who hit a clutch three-pointer in the final moments to secure the win for the Kings, 90–86.

The Kings closed out the series in Game 3, winning 95–78 in front of 16,000 fans at Qudos Bank Arena, clinching their first championship in 17 years. Cooks and Martin combined for 45 points and 29 rebounds, helping Sydney capture the title.

2022/23
Entering their second year, the JackJumpers had most of their roster locked into multi-year deals, with the only notable departures being Josh Adams and MiKyle McIntosh. Despite the loss of Adams, coach Scott Roth quickly replaced him with the talented Milton Doyle and added Rashard Kelly to fill the gap left by McIntosh.

As Will Magnay (5.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.0 blocks) recovered from a foot injury and captain Clint Steindl (4.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists) was sidelined with a knee injury sustained while playing for Australia at the FIBA Asia Cup, Tasmania’s season got off to a rocky start. They lost to South East Melbourne (79–84), Cairns (84–106), and New Zealand (65–71), leaving them equal last with Brisbane after three games. In a critical battle for the bottom of the ladder, Tasmania earned their first win of the season, defeating Brisbane in overtime (90–86), thanks to a stellar 32-point, 4-assist performance by Doyle.

Following that win, Tasmania embarked on a four-game winning streak, propelling them back into the playoff hunt, where they remained for the rest of the season.

Milton Doyle (17.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals) led the team in scoring, while Jack McVeigh (14.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists) increased his scoring for the fifth consecutive season, establishing himself as the team’s best local player.

The JackJumpers finished the regular season in fourth place (16–12), securing a spot in the inaugural NBL play-in tournament. Unfortunately, point guard Josh Magette (10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.0 steals) suffered an accidental elbow to the face in the final regular-season game against the Hawks, resulting in a broken cheekbone and fractured eye socket. Magette required surgery and was ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs.

To fill the gap left by Magette’s injury, import Rashard Kelly (12.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists) and development players Sean MacDonald (6.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists) and Isaac White (5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.6 assists) stepped up during the playoffs. Tasmania defeated Cairns (79–87) in the play-in qualifier before facing second-seeded New Zealand in the semifinals.

In Game 1, Tasmania struggled offensively, scoring just 68 points, their third-lowest total of the season. Kelly (12 points) and Doyle (10 points) were the only players to reach double figures. However, Doyle (23 points, 5 assists) led the way in Game 2 with a dominant performance, leading Tasmania to a 89–78 win to even the series. Unfortunately, Tasmania fell short in Game 3, losing 77–92 as New Zealand proved too strong on their home court.

Mid-season, Clint Steindl inked a new two-year deal, ensuring his place in Tasmania through at least the 2024/25 season, further cementing his leadership role within the team.

Clint Steindl currently plays for the Tasmania JackJumpers and has played 330 games in his NBL career. He has averaged 7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists since entering the league in 2012.
