More Than an athlete
I’m Manyïël Majak Ater Wugol - a professional basketball player, mentor and proud South Sudanese-Australian.
Bio Story
From Kakuma refugee camp to professional arenas across Australia, my journey hasn’t been traditional - but it’s been powerful.
I’m a 6’5 shooting guard going into my 4th year of professional basketball. I’ve grown into a leader both on and off the court - not just focused on buckets but building impact, guiding and inspiring the next generation. Everything I’ve done is rooted in resilience, hard work and faith.
Visons and Value
My mission is bigger than basketball.
I believe sports is a vehicle - for discipline, identity and opportunity. I represent every kid who’s ever doubted their path, and every community that deserves to see one of their own make it
My brand stands for:
Hard work
Faith
Uplifting others
Staying true to your roots
