Illawarra Hawks guard Trey Kell has officially announced that he will depart the team at the conclusion of his current contract. The announcement, made by Kell himself, marks the end of a notable chapter for the 6’4″ player who has been with the Hawks for multiple seasons.
Kell, who joined the Illawarra Hawks in 2022, played an integral role in the team’s backcourt, bringing energy, leadership, and defensive prowess to the roster. Over the course of his time in the National Basketball League (NBL), Kell demonstrated his ability to score, create plays, and provide a steady presence on the floor. His contributions were pivotal in several of the team’s successful campaigns, and he quickly became a fan favorite for his work ethic and commitment to the team.
In his statement, Kell expressed gratitude to the Hawks organization, coaching staff, and fans for their support during his tenure. “I’ve enjoyed every moment of my time with Illawarra, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to play for such a great club. The decision to move on at the end of the season wasn’t easy, but it’s a part of my journey,” Kell said. He went on to mention his desire to explore new opportunities in his basketball career, signaling that his next chapter is yet to be determined.
The departure of Kell leaves a gap in the Hawks’ backcourt, and the team will now focus on finding a suitable replacement ahead of the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the Hawks look to maintain their competitive edge in the NBL without the veteran guard.
As Kell prepares for his exit, the Illawarra Hawks organization and supporters will no doubt remember his time with the team fondly.
