Captain Aaron Ralph & fellow veteran Mat Wundenberg re-sign with Geraldton Buccaneers ahead of season tip-off

The 2024 NBL1 West season is right around the corner and the Geraldton Buccaneers have re-signed long-time players Aaron Ralph and Mat Wundenberg ahead of their first game next week. Fans can rejoice as the two veterans are back for another season, with the Buccs announcing on Monday the re-signing of the pair on social media. With Ralph, the 400-plus gamer’s career was on the rocks when he went down with an ACL during the 2021 season, missing the remainder of that year and the entirety of the 2022 season. With more than 600 days away from the court, Ralph returned in style last year, averaging 10.7 points per game. Ralph capped off his miraculous return season with a championship, his second at the helm for the Buccaneers. Wundenberg, 41, quashed retirement speculation after the veteran signed with the club for another year. The club’s games played record holder will extend his streak that started when making his debut in 2004. During the off-season, Ralph and Wundenberg led Chapman Valley to a 14-1 record in division one of the Geraldton Basketball Association, with the pair tying for runner-up MVP and both being selected as division one all-stars. Round one of the NBL1 West starts this week, but the defending champions wait until next weekend for their first action when they face the Willetton Tigers on April 6, at home.
