"I draw my inspiration from the fact that throughout my childhood I let so much opportunities go. But I realised I’m blessed with the talent to play basketball so I feel obligated to play and train to the best of my ability".

Matthew Disu

Small Forward

The EssexRebels are proud to announce the return of Matthew Disu to the 22/23 season. Matthew is 1 of 4 undergraduate players returning from last season, Matthew pitched in with 3.2 points per game and will be built on his maiden year in Division 1.

“It’s great to have Matthew back in the squad. He has an infectious energy that really contributes to our culture. He can get downhill and makes plays above the rim at a high level, whilst being able to guard the perimeter with speed and athleticism”. -Coach Ross Norfolk
