Mandurah Magic stalwart Casey 'Milo' Mihovilovich has signed on with the club for a 28th season.

Casey is the SBL/NBL1 West all time games record holder, having played over 550 games for the Magic.

She began her basketball career with Mandurah in 1996 at the age of 14.

The 42-year-old is well known in the community for her roles both on and off the court.

Last year she was announced as the City of Mandurah's new CEO, the first woman to hold the position.

Mandurah Magic women's coach Vlad Alava said Casey still has plenty left in the tank.

"By now I think we've all run out of superlatives to describe Milo both on and off the court," Alava said.

"But the good honest truth is that she continues to shine brightly not only in our team but in the whole league.

"She is in rare air, to be performing at such a high level for such a long time.

"Veterans often play until they know they are no longer up to the pace of the game.

"That in mind, Milo should keep playing for as long as the competitive flames is burning."

The 2024 NBL1 West season begins on Thursday, March 28.
