Conti Joins Flyers For WNBL Season

NBL1 superstar Monique Conti has joined the Southside Flyers for the upcoming WNBL season.

Conti announced the news this weekend on the Flyers’ Instagram page during a Sayin’ It With Sara chat with teammate Sara Blicavs.

“I guess with everything up in the air and not being sure how the season was going to pan out, I thought I wanted to still keep my foot in the door with basketball, I wanted to train and all that,” Conti said.

“I then got the opportunity to play with you guys (Southside) and I wanted to do that. It’s just such a great environment, such a good teamy vibe and everyone is so happy and great there. I really love it and couldn’t have thought of a better club to join this season.”

Conti has played for the Melbourne Boomers since 2016. The dual sport athlete also plays AFLW for Richmond.

Last month Conti reaffirmed her desire to continue playing for the Melbourne Tigers in NBL1. She averaged 20.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the 2019 NBL1 season.
