Kings confirm Damien Ryan signing
The 'resurrected' Sydney Kings continue to add valuable pieces to their roster and staff ensuring both the short and long term objectives of the organisation are met.
The Kings announced today a major player signing in Australian Squad member Damien Ryan, who will fill one of the starting guard positions for Sydney. Ryan’s experience, veteran status and scoring ability will provide both a steady and explosive piece to the team roster.
Damien Ryan comes to the Kings after a six-year stint playing in Europe, primarily in the tough Italian professional league. After a breakout season with the Brisbane Bullets in 2003 averaging 18.4 points and 4.5 rebounds, the then 23 year-old, 6’4" shooting guard headed to the competitive European leagues where he continued to hone his skills and build his reputation. He can play the point guard position and his long range shooting ability will easily adapt to the increased three-point line in the upcoming NBL season.
