Lead Agent David Wolf

Closer Sport is led by highly experienced, FIBA accredited agent, David Wolf. With extensive experience in managing the careers of athletes and other personalities, David has also worked in sports administration and corporate marketing across Australia, Asia and the U.S.

Formerly the General Manager of the Sydney Kings in the Australian NBL, David has works directly with his extensive network across Australia and New Zealand, and alongside agency partners in the US and Europe, to ensure the best opportunities are identified and negotiated. He has worked with many well-known sporting organizations across basketball, rugby league, supercars and other sponsors in negotiating and managing sponsorships, endorsements and ambassadorships.

His experience in management and negotiation ensures our clients are always well represented, while his expertise in marketing and public relations ensures the public reputation of our clients is maximized commercially.

The Best In WNBA Representation

One such example for our female clients is our partnership with Wiesel Sports. This ensures our Australian clients have access to the pre-eminent independent WNBA agent globally with more than 25 years of experience dealing with every WNBA club and management team. Such a partnership also means that we are the Australian agent for some of the sport’s biggest global names, and proudly represent them for WNBL opportunities. This has included representing Jocelyn Willoughby (New York Liberty - Sydney Flames WNBL 2022-23) and Tianna Hawkins (Washington Mystics - Townsville Fire WNBL 2022-23)

We are delighted to also work with European agency partners, such that we have experts managing opportunities in different parts off the world for our clients, all managed centrally from Australia.
