Each has progressed through the Ballarat domestic, junior, and youth league programs, starting with Celtic Tigers, Saints and Phoenix respectively.

Miners head coach Luke Brennan said one of his first priorities on signing with the Miners was to re-sign Ballarat juniors already in the program.

"More importantly they are Ballarat guys who understand what it means to play for the Miners."

Dunmore from Ararat is returning for his seventh NBL1/SEABL season.

"I'm super pumped to be back with the Miners this season. I can't wait to hit the court with the boys and play in front of the best home crowd in the league."

Renfree is returning after a breakout second half of last season.

"It was always a dream of mine as a kid coming to watch the Miners to one day play with them, so making that dream a reality these past few seasons has been so surreal, "

Fiegert secures a full-time roster spot after playing an important role as captain of the Miners youth league

program since returning from college in the United states and a serious ankle injury.

"I'm super excited to be a part of the NBL1 program this year.

"It was definitely a main goal of mine to step up from the youth league."
