Rams Recruit Aussie Sean Macdonald for 2025 Season

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – The Canterbury Rams are excited to announce the addition of up-and-coming Australian guard Sean Macdonald for the 2025 Sal’s NBL season.

“We’re pumped to have Sean with us for the upcoming NZNBL season,” said Head Coach Quinn Clinton. “He elevates everyone around him and knows what it takes to win at a high level. We’re excited to be a part of his journey and support his development. Can’t wait to get him to Christchurch and begin the journey with our team.”

24-year-old Macdonald is a teammate of Walter Brown on the Tasmania JackJumpers in the Australian NBL, achieving per game averages of 11.2 points, 3.8 assists, and 2.1 made three-pointers at 45.2% in NBL25. He was awarded the league’s Most Improved Player award in 2024 and was a contributor towards the JackJumper’s first ever NBL championship the same year.


Macdonald shared Coach Clinton’s sentiment, saying, “I’m pumped to join the Rams for the 2025 season. I can tell it’s a great club to be a part of and obviously had very successful seasons the last two years which I’m keen to be involved in and embrace the team culture.”

“The emphasis on development and playing good team basketball was a huge factor for me. I can tell the team all enjoy playing with each other and want to grow and get better both individually and collectively. Very excited to get over there and experience Christchurch and all it has to offer. Looking forward to having a fun season and hopefully building on the success of the last few years!”

During his past two NBL offseasons, Macdonald suited up for the Darwin Salties in the NBL1 North. He was an excellent scorer and facilitator for the Salties, boasting numbers of 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.9 made threes to the tune of 38.5%.

Macdonald suffered an unfortunate foot injury in January, but we are aiming for him to be ready to roll by early April.
