London Lions Snap Up Nick Lewis From Sheffield

By Bradley Gains on July 24, 2015

London Lions have signed former GB Under-20 international Nick Lewis from BBL rivals Sheffield Sharks.

Lewis spent his first three seasons as a pro with the Sharks and now makes the switch to the capital for the upcoming season.

The Canadian-born guard represented GB at the Under-20 European Championships in 2013 on the back of his rookie season in the BBL.

Lewis has become one of the top British players in the league and averaged 12.8 points per game last season along with 4.5 rebounds in 40 league/playoff appearances.

The 22-year-old becomes the Lions’ third new recruit of the summer joining Kai Williams and Jorge Ebanks with Joe Ikhinmwin returning on a two-year deal as captain.

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.
