Dan Clark Returns to Spain, Joins Murcia in ACB

By Bradley Gains on March 10, 2017

Dan Clark has joined ACB side UCAM Murcia for the remainder of the season after leaving MZT Skopje.

The GB forward had a mixed experience in Macedonia with averages of 8.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15 games in the Adriatic League.

Clark had a brief spell playing alongside Devon Van Oostrum – before his injury – and now teams up with another Brit in Ovie Soko.

The 28-year-old is no stranger to playing in Spain having spent most of his professional career plying his trade in one of Europe’s strongest leagues.

Murcia are struggling in the Spanish top-flight with a 7-15 record and are four wins adrift of the playoffs having also been knocked in the Top 16 stage of the EuroCup.

And, Clark believes his experience can be a factor in helping his new side avoid the drop.

“It’s not the first complicated situation I’ve been in,” he said in his introductory press-conference this morning.

“I think my experience in the league can help in such a situation.”

Murcia’s next game is against Andorra – a team Clark played for in the 2015-16 season.

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.
