Raph Thomas-Edwards

England Under-18 Raphell Thomas-Edwards (1993 born) has signed with NCAA Division 1 school University at Buffalo in New York.

The 6’5″ 230lbs forward played for Leicester Warriors last season before leading England’s U18 team in scoring (10 ppg) and rebounding (7.9 rpg) at the Division B European Championships.

Head coach Reggie Witherspoon is excited to have the English player as a Bull:

“Raphell is a very versatile player who has the potential to help us in a number of different ways. He has quick feet and is explosive. His international experience will accelerate his development.”

Thomas-Edwards himself is pleased to have made the next step in his basketball career, but recognises he still has a lot of work to do. Talking to This is Leicestershire, he said:

“The hard work I have put in has been rewarded. There are a lot of people to thank for their support, too. It is going to be an experience. Karl (Brown) has been a massive influence, someone to look up to, and I’ll be trying to achieve what he achieved.

“I can get better at everything but fitness will be the main thing.”


Hoopsfix wants to wish Raph all the best with his college career!
