BIO: Born in Townsville, Queensland, Wroe moved to Brisbane as a youth and spent 2005 to 2008 attending Southern Cross Catholic College. During this time, he represented the Brisbane Capitals’ under age groups, represented Queensland South at the 2007 Australian U16 Championships and 2008 Australian U18 Championships before moving to Canberra in 2009. Wroe received a scholarship to attend the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra) in 2009. He spent three years year there and played for the program’s state league team (2009, 2010, 2011).

NBL EXPERIENCE

Corban Wroe made his NBL debut with the Perth Wildcats at 23 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.

Wroe signed a development player deal with Perth in 2015 and upon signing was compared to former Perth Wildcats captain Brad Robbins. Heading into the 2015/16season coach Trevor Gleeson conceding his side struggled with chemistry issues in 2014/15 and added high-profile recruits Casey Prather and Nathan Jawai as well as backup guard Jarrod Kenny to correct team balance.

With the team’s acquisition of Nathan Jawai a injury-free Matthew Knight was able to move to his natural position of power forward for the first time and together with Tom Jervis the Wildcats would feature a formidable frontcourt. The Wildcats battled with Melbourne United for top spot on the ladder all season before finishing the regular season in second place with a 18–10 record.

Wroe would average 0.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, and 0.8 assists as Perth remained relatively injury-free and defeated the Illawarra Hawks in the semifinals to set up a Grand Final series against the New Zealand Breakers.

Wroe was a non-factor for the Wildcats during the NBL Grand Final series but was a part of the 2016 championship team who defeated the Breakers 2-1 to clinch the three game series.

2016/17
The 2016 off-season saw a lot of change in personnel, with three key players from the 16 championship team (Nathan Jawai, Tom Jervis and Jermaine Beal) moving on. To replace them, coach Trevor Gleeson brought in Angus Brandt, Jameel McKay and Jaron Johnson and headed into the 2016/17 season attempting to secure the team’s first back-to-back championships since 1991.

In Wroe’s second year as a development player The Wildcats started the season off strong with a 4–1 record, but things went south quickly after that.

On 23 October 2016, Martin recorded a career-high 13 rebounds in a 72–69 win over Melbourne United. During the game, he received a heavy knock to the head, with x-rays revealing a fracture to the left side of his jaw. Consequently, he was ruled out for two weeks of action. He returned after missing just one game but sustained another injury, this time a grade three MCL tear in his left knee against Adelaide (5 Nov 16) and was subsequently ruled out for 10 to 12 weeks.

the Wildcat’s slumped to the last spot in December with a 7–9 record as the team’s injury toll started to bite—long-term injuries to Martin, Jarrod Kenny, and Matthew Knight hurt the Wildcats.

Import Jaron Johnson would take the brunt of the Wildcats’ poor start, and he was axed just three games into the season and replaced with three-point specialist Andre Ingram.

In a bizarre twist, Ingram left the team and returned to the US after just two games, citing mental issues, and Johnson was brought back into the team. It was at this time Perth legend Shawn Redhage announced that the 2016/17 season would be his last.

Johnson’s reinstatement was a temporary solution, and he was shown the door again in December with the Wildcats seising the opportunity to sign former NBA guard Bryce Cotton.

With the addition of Cotton and the return of Martin in January, the Wildcat’s went on to win eight of their remaining twelve regular-season games. On 28 January, in his 250th NBL game, Martin scored a season-high 11 points to go with six rebounds, and four assists in a 73–71 win over Melbourne. Wroe averaged 1.2 points, 1.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists as the team squeezed into the play-offs after winning two must win games to finish third on the ladder with a 15–13 record.

Again Wroe would see little playing time during the postseason but was a part of the Wildcat’s squad who claimed their eighth NBL Championship after defeating Illawarra Hawks 3-0 in the NBL Grand Final.

Corban Wroe played two seasons the Perth Wildcats..
