Wildcats add NBL1 Star as Development Player
The Perth Wildcats have signed young big man Oliver Hayes-Brown as a development player for the next two seasons.Wildcats add NBL1 Star as Development Player
www.nbl1.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent publicly available reports:
- Oliver Hayes-Brown has been reported as joining the Perth Wildcats as a development player for the next couple of seasons, highlighting his size (208 cm, 114 kg) and potential as a rebounder and interior scorer. This move positions him to develop within a top-level Australian club environment.[1][3]
- Separate outlets have linked Oliver Hayes-Brown to Richmond (AFL) coverage, but that appears to be a different context (AFL/mixture of fantasy contexts) and may reflect confusion with similarly named athletes. The most concrete, basketball-specific updates in early 2026 concern his development path with the Wildcats.[2][4]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to a specific league (NBL/ABL/AFL) or pull more sources from a given date range. I can also summarize any confirmed contract details or recent appearances if you specify which timeframe you care about.
