Regarded as one of the Pirates' leaders on court and off it, the Launceston-born Woodfall was a dynamic scoring force this season as he ranked ninth in the NBL1 North by averaging 21 points.

That culminated in the Pirates star taking out their most prestigious honour across the weekend.

"I am really proud and humbled by it, you know you don't really play for individual accolades, you play for the team and to enjoy the journey but to get something like that is kind of an added special thing," he said.

"I wouldn't have been able to get there without all the guys on the team and that's what makes it fun. all the amazing friendships and stuff."

Ranking along the NBL1 North's best is no mean feat given the Queensland-based league was stacked with NBL experience including Nathan Sobey and Majok Deng, this season.

"Individually, I thought it was a pretty good year, like statistically it was one of my best seasons in terms of [being] ninth in the league in scoring," he said.

"I put in a lot of work behind the scenes by myself and with other guys on the team so yeah it was nice and it was a good birthday gift."

Despite only being a freshly minted 25-year-old, Woodfall has been turned to as a key leader for the youthful Pirates outfit over the course of the season.

The former Riverside High student has reputable experience on the court having completed a four-year stint with Southwest Baptist and Missouri Baptist universities in the United States.

While completing his medicine studies, Woodfall is eager to turn personal accolades into team success when the league returns next season.

"[Our club culture] was always positive and productive and that's something that I think sets the club in good stead, for years to come and also, just like I think is a good example for how it should be done," he said.

"Success-wise, everyone wants to win at all, but only one team does. I think that's the stuff that as like the captain and then as like a player on the team, I think also means a lot to me.

"I am trying to keep my form and have another good season but [I want] to be part of something bigger than just the individual accolades and try to win some team success."
