The Breakers clicked another piece of the 2012/13 jigsaw into place today with the signing of forward Leon Henry to a new two-year contract.
Tall Black Henry has proven his worth to the back-to-back champions over the past two seasons, first filling in for Kirk Penney and this season assuming
a full time on court role.
The 26-year-old, who started game one of the grand final series in place of the injured Tom Abercrombie, is focused on repaying the faith shown in him by the club.
"I'm just thankful to be in this situation where I am wanted by a great franchise like the Breakers," he said. "It's all thanks to the coaching staff that has the belief in me as a player and to the owners and staff who contribute so much to help us win games of basketball.
"My main focus is to become an overall better player, being around the team everyday going at it at trainings is only going to help that and I look forward to the challenge. One thing about this team is we push each other every day, enemies on the court then brothers off it. We have such a competitive nature within our group that it only drives us to be better.
