Melbourne United veteran David Barlow has re-signed with the club on a one-year deal, in what will be his seventh season with the club.

Barlow, often praised as the epitome of what it takes to be a professional sportsman, won his fifth NBL Championship with Melbourne United in NBL21.

The 205cm forward played a pivotal role in the Championship-winning squad by providing an offensive punch off the bench, highlighted by shooting a career-high 48.4% from 3-point range. Barlow finished the season as the most efficient offensive player in the league in NBL21, averaging 1.17 points per possession, while also being relied upon as an elite-level defender.
