The 185-centimetre ball-handler enjoyed a successful four-year college career at Kentucky Wesleyan University, averaging 19 points, four rebounds, three assists and two steals in his senior year.
He is a noted marksman from three-point range, shooting 40 percent from deep over the course of his college career.
Bosley last played professionally in Palestine earlier this year, and will arrive on the Border in March to commence pre-season training.
Known for using a variety of off-ball actions to generate high-percentage shots, Bosley said he was excited to arrive in Albury.
“I'm excited to play, I feel good about playing in Australia,” he said.
“I don't know much about the culture but I'm excited to embrace it and the people of Albury-Wodonga.
“I am a creative scorer who loves scoring coming off pin downs, using ball screen actions, and shooting from the outside.
“With that being said I just try to make the right basketball play.
“I’m excited to see how this team can expand my game as a point guard, I feel the players will help add more versatility to my game.”
Bandits head coach Brad Chalmers said he was excited to see what Bosley would produce in the new-look Victorian elite league next year.
“I believe Ken-Jah is a high calibre import with huge potential, having shown consistent excellence as a scorer at college and in his first pro gig,” he said.
“We have been blessed the last few years with our imports in this regard and we will be asking him to provide not only direction and leadership on and off the court, but to play a huge role in the mentoring of our local players over the course of the season.”
In what is sure to be a good omen for the Bandits, Bosley boasts a link to club legend Allen McCowan; the two share the same college coach, Kentucky’s Happy Osborne.
