Youngster Will Leger will play for the Auckland Tuatara 3×3 squad for 2023 edition of the tournament to be staged at ILT Stadium in Invercargill in October.
Leger played three matches for the Tuatara in this year’s Sal’s NBL season in his first year out of school.
The Mt Albert Grammar product impressed the Tuatara coaching staff with his athleticism and approach to the game and he is expected to take on a more senior role with the side in 2024.
He will start that drive by playing in the Tuatara 3×3 side.
He joins guard Reuben Fitzgerald on the Tuatara roster.
The 2023 3×3 Cup is being held October 25-28 at ILT Stadium in Invercargill.
