The Willetton Tigers have announced the signing of Michael Vigor for the 2021 NBL1 West season.
Vigor, whose basketball career to date includes three years as a development player with the Perth Wildcats, has played in the SEABL with the Bendigo Braves and spent time overseas in England where he played for the Plymouth Raiders and Bristol Flyers.
Vigor was also an important component of the Perth Redbacks championship team in 2017 and he then went on to also represent Scotland in a Commonwealth Games in 2018 having been born in England. Vigor comes to the Tigers most recently from the Lakeside Lightning where he played during the 2020 West Coast Classic.
“Michael Vigor is a huge signing for us, anytime you are able to have someone of his calibre on a roster, you take it every time,” Willetton coach Adam Nener said.
“He has played professionally overseas, won a SBL championship and played at a Commonwealth Games. We have had a few sessions now and just seeing how he conducts himself on and off the court, his preparation and leadership is second to none.”
The Tigers will start their NBL1 West season with a home game at Willetton Stadium against the Lakeside Lightning on Saturday 17th April.
