Mo Soluade Being Considered for Malaga First Team Spot Next Season

By Sam Neter on July 20, 2014

Former England Under-18 Mo Soluade continues to develop in Spain as he is being considered for a spot on the ACB team next season, reports Spanish regional newspaper sur.es.

Soluade, part of the 1995 born ‘golden generation’, did not play with the Great Britain Under-20s this summer to stay in Spain and workout for the potential jump next season.

The 6’4″ guard played in LEB Gold last season with Clínicas Rincón, the feeder team for Unicaja Malaga, averaging approximately 12ppg, leading the league in three point shooting percentage.

Sur.es reports that Soluade “took a leap forward in all aspects” last season, improving not only physically, but his leadership skills and three point range.

Soluade signed with Unicaja in 2011 after helping lead the England Under-16s to Division A promotion while being named to the all tournament team with averages 11.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.8 steals and 1 block per game.

Soluade was also part of the England U18 squad that got a 9th place at the Division A European Championships in 2013, averaging 6.9ppg, 4.1rpg, 2apg and 2.7spg (second in the tournament).

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
