Smith-Milner returns to Bullets

The Brisbane Bullets’ roster build for next season continues, with the club announcing Tohi Smith-Milner will return after picking up his club option.

Smith-Milner’s commitment adds to a strong foundation for Brisbane, joining Tyrell Harrison, Mitch Norton, Casey Prather, and Sam McDaniel as players already locked in.

The New Zealand native has been a key contributor in the Bullets' frontcourt, bringing toughness, versatility, and a team-first mentality.

Since arriving in Brisbane, Smith-Milner has provided valuable minutes off the bench, stretching the floor with his outside shooting and bringing defensive intensity in the paint.

"Being part of the Bullets this past year has been an awesome experience, and I’m keen to keep it going,” Smith-Milner said.

“We’ve got something special here, and I’m excited to see what we can achieve in NBL26." 

Brisbane's Senior Basketball Advisor, Stu Lash, praised Smith-Milner’s impact in NBL25. 

“Tohi is a competitor and a great teammate—he brings experience, leadership, and a skill set that fits perfectly with our style of play,” Lash said. 

“We’re thrilled he’s committed to being part of our future as we continue to build towards success.” 

The Bullets' search for a head coach continues.
