Player Profile

As one of the best Australian players in the NBL, Mark Worthington brings toughness, intelligence and a winning attitude to the Blaze roster.

Worthington is both a superb rebounder and unstoppable offensive force. He can score from the post, from outside and clean the glass for points around the basket. In last year’s competition he was top 5 in the league in both scoring and total rebounds.

Arguably the best power forward in the competition and a perennial All-NBL First Team selection, Worthington has won numerous NBL Championships and represented his country at World Championship and Olympic level. He will bring this same set of attributes to the Blaze and will aim to lead the team to a maiden NBL championship.
