Kieron Achara Accepts Club Development Role with Basketball Scotland

Kieron Achara has accepted an offer from Basketball Scotland to become one of their Regional Club Development Managers (RCDM).

The GB co-captain will primarily be working with clubs in the East region, and is looking forward to his new role with the governing body.

“I am ecstatic to be signing for basketballscotland and joining another great team but this time to contribute more off court and to the local basketball clubs and communities,” said Achara.

“Club Development is something I have always had a great passion for, but now to be able to do it professionally and in my home country fills me with excitement as to what we can achieve for the current and future basketball generation.”

Achara had previously stated his intention of remaining in his native country, and spent the whole of last season with Scottish BBL side Glasgow Rocks.

“Kieron is going to be a great addition to the basketballscotland team,” added Head of Communities, Chris Dodd. “The business and marketing skills he brings along with his passion to help and grow our sport will be invaluable.

“His playing achievements are an added quality that can only serve to inspire our clubs and young players to bigger and better things in basketball.”

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.
