Rainmen Sign Julian Allen in Dispersal Draft

January 27, 2011 - Premier Basketball League (PBL)
Halifax Rainmen News Release


The Halifax Rainmen are pleased to announce the signing of 6'5, 215 pound small forward, Julian Allen.

The Rainmen selected Allen in the Vermont Frost Heaves' dispersal draft, which took place after last night's announcement that the team would be ceasing operations immediately due to financial strain.

To make room for Allen on the ten-man roster, 6'3, 180 pound guard Tommy Mitchell was released.

"Julian gives us a more athletic guard and a better scorer," said Halifax Rainmen President & CEO, Andre Levingston. "Tommy did a good job for us, but Julian is a better defender and will give our team more consistency in that position."

In college, Allen played at Georgia Southern University. Just last week, he was among the top contenders for the title of PBL Player of The Week.

Allen will join the Rainmen in Saturday night's game against the Saint John Mill Rats.

Tickets for the January 29 game can be purchased at any Ticket Atlantic location or at the Metro Centre Box Office. For information on group rates and student pricing, please visit www.rainmenbasketball.ca.
