The Ballarat Miners are excited to announce the signing of Lachlan Dent for the upcoming season, adding a dynamic and experienced guard to the roster.
An Illawarra product, Dent has spent four seasons in the NBL environment with the Illawarra Hawks, gaining valuable experience at Australia’s highest level. In 2023, he took his talents to Europe, signing with the PS Karlsruhe Lions in Germany’s ProA league, where he produced one of the club’s standout individual performances, scoring 42 points and knocking down 10 three-pointers in a single game, a display of his scoring ability and confidence from long range.
Lachlan has since returned to Australia, joining the Sydney Kings this season as a short-term injury replacement, further strengthening his exposure to elite competition and high-performance standards.
Dent also impressed in NBL1 North with the Brisbane Capitals, where he averaged 18.6 points, 5.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game across the 2025 season.
The club would like to welcome Dent to the Miners as we prepare for our season opener against Bendigo on March 28th.
