Basketball: Boucher signs deal with Brisbane

Tall Blacks basketballer Dillon Boucher has signed a two-year deal with the Brisbane Bullets, a move which brings him closer to his family in New Zealand.

Boucher, a 1.96m forward, spent last season with the Perth Wildcats after being unwanted by the New Zealand Breakers following two seasons with the Auckland-based team.

The Commonwealth Games silver medallist said he would rather play in his home country but hadn't been approached by the Breakers.
