25til25: Milton Doyle inks 2-year deal

The Tasmania JackJumpers are thrilled to announce the signing of superstar shooting guard Milton Doyle on a two-year deal, with the import locked in until at least the end of the 2024/25 season.

6’4 Doyle, was an integral part of Tasmania’s NBL23 campaign, where he became the first JackJumpers player to be named in the All-NBL First team as well as being awarded the 2023 JackJumpers MVP in February.  

"Milton was incredible for us this past season, and we're thrilled to have him on board for another two years," JackJumpers Co-CEO Jorrick Chivers said.

"His versatility and ability to drive our systems have been invaluable, but more importantly he really upholds our humble and hungry values both on and off the court”.

“Following the end of his season in Turkey, we reopened up the conversations with Milton and his management and family. To be honest it was very straight forward, Milton was really eager to return to Tasmania and we were really eager to have him” Chivers said.

“Longer term contracts are a bit unusual for imports in the NBL, but we couldn’t be more confident and happy to lock Milton in for the next two seasons.”

Doyle averaged 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in the NBL23 season, leading the JackJumpers to a second consecutive post-season berth.

"I'm really excited to be staying with the JackJumpers for another two seasons," Doyle said.

“My family really loved it in Tasmania which is so important to me, and I loved everything the JackJumpers are about and feel like we can really make a run for the Championship next season”.

“I’m excited to see what the group can achieve. There’s no other place I’d rather be than Tassie” he said.

Doyle previously played 10 NBA games with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2017-18 season, when he was signed with the Long Island Nets NBA G League affiliate squad.

The 29-year-old has just completed his season with Tofas Bursa in, when Doyle helped lead the team to a finals series in Turkey’s Basketbol Super Ligi in the NBL off-season.

Doyle, his wife Keyara and their children will re-join the JackJumpers family ahead of preseason in early August.
