Perth Wildcats captain Damian Martin has called a press conference for 11am today where he is expected to announce his retirement.

The six-time NBL championship winner and six-time NBL Best Defensive Player is recovering from an Achilles reconstruction which requires 12-months rehabilitation.

With the season set to begin in December and Martin turning 36 in September, the brilliant point-guard would have to wait until next year to play again.

He foreshadowed the prospect of being forced to retire at the end of last season when he revealed that his future depended on avoiding surgery.

Martin will be joined by Wildcats coach Trevor Gleeson for the press conference.

Meanwhile, Illawarra captain Todd Blanchfield has seized the opportunity to sign a two-year contract with the Wildcats.

“Trev’s tried to get me to Perth when I’ve been a free agent in the past,” Blanchfield said.

“They’re always tough decisions to make. Right now, I feel like where I am as a player and a person, that Perth is a really good fit.

“Trev gave me the opportunity as a 17-year-old in Townsville.

“It’s going to be cool to have played my first game under Trev and now I’ll play my 300th game under Trev too.”

More to come.

Fingers crossed it's a new one year contract for Damo.

You don't call a press conference for that.

This is truly a sad day. Damo was an ICON of the Wildcats and a winner through and through.

He will make a great coach down the line if he wants it.

Fingers crossed it's a new one year contract for Damo.

But sadly I feel it might be the other.
(Perhaps they need to move on another signing, which would have made this obvious??)

Still fingers crossed.

I hope there could be some sort of coaching role for Martin, seems to be such an aspiring person in the team.

If your club is paying someone. They have been bluffed by a player. Most players understand the circumstances - some are showing their true colours right now

The fact that the tweet says Marto and Gleeson having the press conference makes me think it's Damo's retirement

Has Kay signed in Europe or still holding out? If nothing firm yet, maybe he's committed to suiting with the Cats?

Its not likely to be an import surely.. How often are imports signed 6 months ahead of the season starting? Unless its a returning import like plumlee or something.
