Josh Mangan moved to Perth to accept a two-year rookie contract with Western Australia, where he is also completing his architecture degree at the University of WA, which fits in with his hobbies of painting and drawing. He had already been on a rookie contract with Victoria, having played for their second XI. One of his fans is his fellow legspinner Shane Warne, who calls Mangan "a very exciting prospect".
