Sharpshooting small forward Felix Von Hofe is the latest signing of the Melbourne Tigers for the 2021 NBL1 South season.
Von Hofe, a Tigers’ junior, was a regular member of Victorian Junior State teams and represented Australia in under 17 and under 19.
He had a stellar college career over four years at the University of Eastern Washington, setting the all-time record for 3 pointers made, amongst other notable achievements.
Felix has played with Dandenong’s SEABL team, before moving to Kilsyth for the 2018 and 2019 seasons. At the same time, he won a Development Player role at NBL Club Melbourne United.
He signed with the Tigers for the season that wasn’t: 2020 but is eager to go in 2021.
“Felix will stretch any defence and is a weapon to be feared”, said Tigers GM Chris Brooking. “He’s a mature athlete and well accustomed to playing at the high tempo that NBL1 demands. It’s great to have him back at the Tigers where he will re-join a number of former teammates and friends”.
Felix is building a profile on social media and hosts the popular weekly podcast Trash Talk. He is looking forward to bringing his game (and no doubt some talk) to Melbourne’s NBL1 campaign.
