Initial England U18 Squad Announced

By Bradley Gains on September 19, 2014

Basketball England have announced an initial 34-man squad for the under-18’s age group for the upcoming year.

The 1997-born generation will most likely be led by Josh Steel while a number of talented ’98s feature with several members of England’s under-16 squad that achieved bronze in Macedonia this summer, also included.

In 2015, the under-18’s will compete in Division B at the European Championships after suffering relegation earlier this summer. Aiden Gastaldi-Davies and Steel both have the chance of helping England attempt to return to Division A while the likes of Carl Wheatle, Sam Japhet-Mathias and Luke Mitchell will be determined to continue their success at international level.

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.
