Eric Boateng Signs with French Third Division Side Mulhouse

By Bradley Gains on January 11, 2015

Veteran British centre Eric Boateng has joined Mulhouse in the French third division, NM1, according to Eurobasket.

The 29-year-old had been in talks with a move to the BBL with London Lions Head Coach Vince Macaulay keen to bring him in.

Boateng had been out of action since the end of last season, where he finished the campaign with Pro-A side Pau Lacq-Orthez after a previous spell in Argentina.

Mulhouse currently have a 4-10 record in NM1 and Boateng made his debut on Saturday scoring 2 points and grabbing 7 boards in a 96-88 defeat against Quimper.

Fellow Brits Rob Marsden, Tafari Toney and Shane Walker are also playing in the same league.

Boateng represented Great Britain last summer in their EuroBasket qualifiers.

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.
