Australian Boomers representative Tom Wilson has quit the Sydney Kings and the NBL to chase an AFL career.

Six weeks after making his debut for the national team, the 21-year-old has cut ties with the Kings to make the transition to Australian rules football.

"He's a fantastic young talent, a great person, and it's no surprise that another sport would be chasing him," Sydney Kings CEO Chris Pongrass said in a statement.
