Tasmania JackJumpers thanks Jarred Bairstow

The Tasmania JackJumpers extend their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Jarred Bairstow for his contribution to the club over the last three years. 

Bairstow has been informed that his contract won’t be extended beyond NBL24, after three years with the JackJumpers beginning from the club’s inception into the NBL in 2021. 

“Jarred has been an integral part of the foundations of this club and we could not be more grateful for what he and his family have contributed over their three years in Tasmania, both on and off the basketball court” Head Coach Scott Roth said. 

“JB has been at the forefront of creating the culture that has been so crucial to our success and setting the standards and values we strive to uphold. In plain, he’s one of the great culture guys and just a great clubman”.  

“I couldn’t more proud of the guy and the way he holds himself. Both JB and Madi will always be part of the JackJumpers family” Roth said. 

Bairstow joined the club from Perth Wildcats in 2021, moving to Tasmania with his wife Madison, quickly building strong connections in the Tasmanian community. 

He took the floor 67 times over three seasons, the fifth-most appearances in the club’s short history, and last month helped the club achieve the League’s ultimate prize – the 2024 NBL Championship. 

Bairstow was also awarded the Tasmania JackJumpers 2024 Coaches’ Award at the club MVP earlier this month for his contributions, both on and off the floor.  

CEO Christine Finnegan extended her gratitude to the Bairstows’ contribution to the club throughout its infancy. 

“We wish Jarred and Madi, and their families, the very best in their future career and life endeavours. They leave an incredible legacy in this state, and they’ll both be a huge part of the foundations of the JackJumpers. We look forward to keeping in touch and continuing to follow their journeys” she said.
