Ashley Hamilton Lands Contract in LEB Gold with Manresa

By Bradley Gains on September 11, 2017

Ashley Hamilton has signed with Basquet Manresa in Spain’s LEB Gold ahead of the 2017-18 season, it was recently announced.

The German-born forward has played the majority of his pro career in the Italian leagues, but is heading for a new challenge in the second division of Spain.

Hamilton has spent the past two seasons at Lavrio in Greece A1, averaging 8.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in 28 appearances during the 2016-17 campaign.

As well as playing for four different teams in Italy, Hamilton also had an impressive season out in Ukraine with Cherkasy in 2014-15, where he put up numbers of 14.8 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

Manresa were relegated from the Liga Endesa last season after finishing bottom with a 5-27 record and Hamilton will be hoping to help the club back into the top-flight.

Jesse Chuku has also swapped for Greece for Spain having signed for Coruna, who will do battle with Hamilton’s Manresa this 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.
