Speaking about his BBL career, Voges said; “It’s a disappointing way to end, but I’ve had so many good memories. It would have been nice to finish on a better note, but you don’t always get to write your own script. To be able to play in three premiership-winning teams, and to make finals every year is a terrific effort in itself.”
