Kings confirmed he won't be back next season
Great news for him, not so much for the kings. True team glue guy. His injury the previous season really hurt the kings, crowd favourite as well.
Good luck to him, hopefully see him back playing some day. It's truly an amazing story, afl, nbl and now Europe.

They'll love his game in Europe. Concur, great story.
Newley was happy at kings, told time to move on.

If it doesn't work out he would suit Gleeson and the Wildcats perfectly. I hope the club at least made him an offer but couldn't compete with Europe.
He would be ideal to play under Gleeson, Adelaide probably would've suited him as well, I would not think he’d had to many offers from nbl clubs as season hasn’t finished. I believe JJ did contact him but balked at the money. At 26 and with a good money contract in front of him, I’d say he’s thought it’s now or never. My Croat mate recons he’ll be great over there.

That Croat is probably following multiple European leagues, including the German Bundesliga.
Germany and Croatia are neighbors, he follows the German basketball, a lot Europeans follow sports in neighbouring countries.

Good for Moller there is a ceiling here for a player of his caliber you wouldn't pay more than say $150k for him. But over there in Europe where big money teams are willing to pay good money for solid role player/glue guys if he puts his head down does alright for a year or two he might then be able to start getting offers in the $400k+ range.
There is no possibility of that happening if he stayed here in the NBL so good luck to him got to strike while the iron is hot.
