JOSH RITCHART EXTENDS THE CONTRACT WITH ROCKINGHAM FLAMES

Ritchard played 10 games for the Flames in 2018 before his season was cut short by a serious foot injury. However, in those handful of games the University of California Davis graduate averaged 26.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game and gained selection in the SBL All-Star game. Rockingham Basketball and Recreation Association president and SBL director Warren Boucaut said the return of 206cm Rithcard would be a huge boost to the club and the player was keen to repay the support he felt was shown by the club in the wake of his injury.
