Cairns Taipans sign Nathan Jawai to a three-year contract
The big man remains in Australia after a season in Perth
The CQUniversity Cairns Taipans today welcomed home Nathan Jawai on a three-year deal.
The 209-centimetre big man returns to where his career began, first with the Taipans Academy before an NBL Rookie of the Year campaign with the Snakes in 2007/08.
Jawai’s return marks a reunion with Taipans head coach Aaron Fearne, who mentored Jawai as a junior before preparing him for his journey to the NBA’s Toronto Raptors.
Fearne will now train Jawai for July’s Australian Boomers selection camp before Taipans training camp commences.
“I’m extremely excited to have Nate returning to the Taipans, and I know he’s very pleased to be back home,” Fearne said.
