College career

Coenraad played college basketball in the United States before returning to a professional career in Australia. He attended Nova Southeastern University from 2005–2009. During his time there, he became the all-time leader in appearances and three-pointers made for the Sharks as well as second in field-goals made, third in free-throws made, fourth in points and assists, and fifth in rebounds.[1]

Professional career

Coenraad signed for the Wollongong Hawks for the 2009–10 NBL season and made his debut on 25 September 2009.[1] He remained at the club for multiple seasons playing many games mainly from the bench. With the retirement of club stalwart Glen Saville in the 2013 off-season, Coenraad was required to raise his game to the next level as a regular starting member.[2]

Coenraad re-signed for the Hawks on 4 July 2014 on a two-year deal.[3] The season proved fruitful for Coenraad, securing the club's MVP at the end of year awards.[4]

On 13 July 2015, Coenraad re-signed with the Hawks for the 2015–16 season.[5] On 1 July 2016, he re-signed with the Hawks for the 2016–17 season.[6]
