Eric Boateng Makes Blois Basket 41 Switch

By Bradley Gains on June 21, 2015

Eric Boateng will remain in France next season after joining NM1 side Blois Basket 41 for the 2015-16 season, the club confirmed today.

The experienced GB forward spent the final part of last season at Mulhouse and made an instant impact upon arriving in January.

Boateng played in 17 games and averaged 12.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, helping the team reach the playoffs following their 21-13 record before losing in the quarter-finals.

The 29-year-old has also had spells in Argentina, Greece and Germany and has been a long-serving member of the GB Senior team including last summer’s EuroBasket qualifiers.

Blois finished 8th in the NM1 standings with a 20-14 record and reached the playoffs finals before losing to Vichy.

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.
