Wildcats react to Cotton citizenship news

The Perth Wildcats have responded to the news of former star Bryce Cotton’s Australian citizenship.

The Perth Wildcats have joined the chorus of cheers following news of former superstar Bryce Cotton’s Australian citizenship news.

Cotton had been seeking citizenship during his time with the Wildcats, but after five years of applications and campaigning, nothing came to fruition.

Now, just months after joining the Adelaide 36ers, his dreams have come true and he’s due to become naturalised in the coming weeks.

“We congratulate Bryce on the news of him becoming an Australian citizen and we hope to be supporting him wearing the green and gold shortly,” the club told The West Australian.

It now means the five-time NBL MVP can represent the Boomers.
