Mills Albert Saints Secure Major Signing of Australian Boomer Elijah Pepper

Mills Albert Saints Secure Major Signing of Australian Boomer Elijah Pepper

The Mills Albert Saints are thrilled to announce the signing of Australian Boomer and Perth Wildcats guard Elijah Pepper, marking a major coup for the club ahead of this weekend’s clash.

Pepper joins the Saints following an impressive season in the Australian NBL with the Perth Wildcats, where he averaged over 10 points per game and established himself as one of the league’s premier perimeter threats. Prior to his professional career, Pepper starred at UC Davis, where he averaged over 20 points per game in his senior year, cementing his reputation as an elite scorer.

Widely regarded as one of the best shooters in the Australian NBL, Pepper brings firepower, experience, and continued upside to the Saints roster.

Saints CEO Jordan Mills expressed his excitement about the signing:

“We’re ecstatic we got Elijah across the line. He’s a high-level scorer and someone who’s continually improving. He’s coming off a great year at Perth and recently led the Australian national team in scoring against the Philippines. It’s a big signing for our group this season.”

 

Saints fans will get their first opportunity to see Pepper in action this Sunday, April 12th, when the Mills Albert Saints take on the Manawatu Jets at 3:00pm.

The club encourages the Saints family to come out in force and welcome Elijah as the team continues to build momentum for the season ahead.
