Ben Mockford Returns to Promoted LEB Gold Side Caceres

By Bradley Gains on July 15, 2015

Ben Mockford is making a return to Caceres after signing a one-year deal with the club he left during last season.

The GB guard left for personal reasons before joining Plymouth Raiders in the BBL, and is now heading back to the Spanish side who went on to earn promotion to LEB Gold.

Mockford averaged 11.2 points per game in the second half of the season with Plymouth including an impressive 60-point weekend that saw him record a season-high of 31 points against Cheshire Phoenix.

The 25-year-old broke into the GB Senior Mens side last summer for the EuroBasket qualifiers and made his mark with a strong showing against Bosnia.

Mockford signed his first professional deal with Caceres shortly after having graduated from NCAA Division 1 school St Francis College.

In 8 games of the club, Mockford averaged a team-high 13 points per game, becoming a fan favourite in the process.

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.
