Big Barrel Hawks finalise 2025 Squad.

The Big Barrel Hawks are proud to announce the seven remaining players who are poised to make a significant impact during the 2025 season. Each of these athletes brings incredible talent, work ethic and potential to the team. Their contributions have been and will continue to play a vital role in the team’s success as the season unfolds. These players are dedicated, passionate, and ready to step up and make their mark with the Hawks this year.​

Ryder Moore
In his second season with the Hawks, Moore is a skilled guard known for his dynamic offensive presence. Whilst at Napier Boys High School,  Moore led his team to victory in the Hawke’s Bay Secondary Schools competition in 2022, averaging an impressive 18.3 points per game. Durning the 2024 Sals National Basketball League Moore made several appearances for the Hawks improving each time he stepped on the court. Moore’s commitment to excellence extends beyond the court, embodying the values of teamwork and community that the Hawks hold dear. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny expressed his enthusiasm about Ryder’s role with the team, stating, “It’s great having Ryder back for his second with the Big Barrel Hawks. Ryder is a great person and team mate and his positive energy and attitude around the team is infectious. I’m hopeful Ryder can remain injury free moving forward and give himself the best oppertunity to showcase his talent to Hawks fans”.

Issac Cox

Returning for his second season with the Hawks, Cox serves as both a player and the team’s apprentice strength and conditioning coach. Following on from his success in the role last season, Cox has taken a bigger role this season being personally responsible for some of the Hawks players, along with his own development, throughout the preseason. His dual role showcases his commitment to the team’s performance, but also his ability to balance and thrive in two very different but equally demanding roles. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny highlighted Issac’s importance, noting, “As our apprentice strength and conditioning coach, Issac plays a vital role in keeping the team at peak performance. His leadership both on and off the court is a huge asset to the Hawks. I know Isaac is always thinking and planning what is best for the team. Always willing to go beyond his job title persay, Issac is a valuable asset to the team.”

Kade Cartwright

Kade Cartwright, who joined the Hawks late in the 2024 season, is known for his excellent shooting and length. After recovering from a recent ankle injury, he is expected to bring an additional scoring punch to the team. His determination and shooting ability will be key to the Hawks’ success when his number is called. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny spoke highly of Cartwright, saying, “Kade brings shooting and a great work ethic to the team. More importantly, he is another great human being who continues to push the group. His length and versatility give us an added dimension offensively, and we look forward to seeing him fully recover and continue his development with the team.”

George Stent

A student at St John’s College Hastings, George Stent returns for his second season. After making his debut and scoring his first NBL points at home in the final game of the 2024 season, Stent returned with a fierce hunger for more. Known for his aggressive playing style, Stent is always on the front foot offensively showcasing a fearless approach to the game. His offensive mindset and energy are expected to develop further as he gains more experience. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny expressed enthusiasm about Stent’s potential, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome George back for his second season. George is a very determined player on court and one who can be relied upon to increase the defensive intensity and preasure when inserted into the game”.

Montell Godinet

Montell Godinet, in his first season with the Big Barrel Hawks is a dynamic athlete with immense raw talent. Having been exposed to the pressures and demands of NBL level basketball for the first time, Godinet continues to take each new challenge in his stride. A product of Hastings Boys and Palmerston North Boys High Schools, Godinet’s athleticisms make him an exciting prospect. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny expressed enthusiasm about Godinet’s addition to the team, “Montell continues to learn and grow every session. Not having any previous experience with the team or basketball at the NBL level, the transition can be tough, but Montell keeps turning up wanting to learn more and be challenged”. 

Tommy Fergusson and Balin Casson are both on the road to recovery after ACL injuries sustained in the same game. Fergusson was dominating the Sky Broadband Rapid League last season, leading the MVP race before his injury. His explosive play and ability to make a big impact on the court will be missed this season. Casson, a gifted athlete from Napier Boys High School, was having an impact on the team before his injury, displaying immense promise. Both players have enormous potential, and the Hawks are eager to see them return to full strength. Hawks General Manager Jarrod Kenny said, “Tommy and Balin have shown incredible resilience and growth despite their injuries. It’s been great to see them out on court helping coach and do what they can. Although they are both some time away from returning  we are confident they’ll make a powerful impact when they return to the court.”
