At 14, former Waimea College student Tyler Marsh became the youngest NBL player ever when he took the court for the Mike Pero Nelson Giants against the Canterbury Rams in 2015. Six years later, he is back from the States and ready to show how much he has grown.
Tyler Marsh was the youngest-ever player in the NBL when he first suited up for the Nelson Giants in 2015. Now, he s grown in every sense to return for season 2021. Perth-born but Richmond-raised, Marsh has joined his younger brother Jay as the most recent signings for the Giants’ 2021 roster. As well as two local lads to give the Giants the most local representation of any of the 10 NBL sides, the team has also brought back two solid performers from the 2020 Showdown – Alex McNaught and Josh Leger.
