REPORT: Championship guard Melbourne-bound

Tasmania JackJumpers NBL24 Champion Milton Doyle is set to sign with Melbourne United, according to ESPN’s Olgun Uluc.

Doyle has spent the past three seasons with the JackJumpers, averaging 15.8 points, 4.3 assists, 5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game.

He made 96 total appearances for Tasmania, with the club recently stating it was “deep in conversation” regarding a return for NBL26.

However, United is believed to have swooped in to secure the talented guard on a one-year deal.

The news follows Melbourne’s signing of Finn Delany last week.

Doyle earned All-NBL First Team honours in 2023 and was named to the All-NBL Second Team in 2024.

He would become the second import to depart the JackJumpers in recent weeks, following Jordon Crawford, while NBA G League guard David Johnson has since joined the club for NBL26.
