Mackay basketball fans will get to watch a former fan-favourite take the court once more when the Meteors play Rockhampton on Friday.
Meteors’ 2013 MVP and member of 2015 QBL championship team Matthew Adekponya will suit up as a short-term replacement player for his former side.
The 30-year-old’s signing comes after Meteor forward Kye Medhurst suffered a foot injury during a pre-season match three weeks ago.
Meteors coach Joel Khalu said he was ecstatic the 194cm forward was re-joining the club.
“He knows most of the guys in the group really well and I’ve coached him for many years, so he understands our style of play and what we’re trying to accomplish at both ends of the floor,” he said.
