Wildcats re-sign Greg Hire for two years

The Perth Wildcats have re-signed championship vice-captain Greg Hire.

The popular West Aussie will remain a Wildcat for at least two more seasons.

Hire, a product of the Wanneroo/Joondalup basketball program, earned his first Wildcats contract in 2011 and has been a crucial part of the team structure ever since.

He's thrilled to be continuing his basketball journey in his hometown.

Thank God he didn't take the Hawks offer, we don't need to become the Wildcats retirement village.

Funny timing, neither early or late, but few thought he was going anywhere.
I suspect the announcement was timed to fill in a bit of a dead spot, especially after the new on Jawai.

He might've had a deadline to make his decision if he was picking between two teams.

Interesting comments in today's West that he was aware his role might be small in coming seasons but despite that he never thought about leaving and wants to build a legacy in WA. I suspect the off court work he does in the community is very important to him.

I recall wagstaff also saying he didn't really strongly consider leaving even though the common perception is he could probably get a bigger role and money elsewhere.

Speaks well for the cats culture and the tightness of this current core

Dazz Greg had a pretty solid offer from the Hawks but obviously decided to stay.
