Despite early reports that the Wildcats would not sign Trahair (as they held out for the possibility that American forward Shawn Redhage would become an Australian citizen), the guard was officially signed up shortly before the first match of the season against his previous club, the Singapore Slingers. However, after appearing in just eight games with limited minutes for the Wildcats, Trahair was released by the club in December 2007 to allow him to sign with the Wollongong Hawks for the remainder of the season.[2]
