THE OneFortyOne Pioneers 2026 playing roster also continues to take shape with the signing of Tayah Burrows.<\/p>\n
Burrows will add versatility, experience, and toughness to the club\u2019s backcourt.<\/p>\n
Burrows previously signed with the Pioneers ahead of 2024 but an ankle injury sustained while playing in Sweden prevented her debut for the Pioneers.<\/p>\n
Burrows returned to Australia and joined the Southside Flyers for the 2024\/25 WNBL season, where she contributed valuable depth to a strong WNBL roster.<\/p>\n
Following the WNBL season, Burrows committed to the Keilor Thunder in the 2025 NBL1 South season, before injury limited her court time to four games.<\/p>\n
Now nearing full recovery, Burrows is expected to enter the 2026 season healthy, prepared, and ready to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n
At 24 years of age, Burrows adds both national and international experience to the Pioneers women\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n
Hailing from Western Australia, Burrows also proved her talents within the NBL1 West competition with the Rockingham Flames from 2019 – 2023.<\/p>\n
In her final season, Burrows averaged 16.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.<\/p>\n
Following this Burrows tested her talents internationally in Sweden with the KFUM Ostersund and Lulea.<\/p>\n
Burrows knows the NBL1 South landscape well and is eager to make her long-awaited debut in Mount Gambier colours.<\/p>\n
Head coach Matt Sutton said Tayah was an extremely resilient athlete, that they look forward to having here.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe plays with a physicality and joy for basketball that I think will make her an instant fan favourite,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n
Burrows shared her excitement about joining the OneFortyOne Pioneers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super keen to join the group for this upcoming season,\u201d she said. \u201cI am very motivated and excited to return to play post injury and can\u2019t wait to meet all my teammates and the Mount Gambier community.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
