Former GB U20 Matthew Don to Begin Pro Career in Spain

By Bradley Gains on August 26, 2015

Matthew Don will start his professional career in Spain this season after joining EBA side CB Virgen Concha.

The 21-year-old forward was part of the GB U20 side that achieved promotion at the 2013 European Championships; averaging 4 points along with 6.8 rebounds during the tournament.

Don spent the final year of his college career at NCAA D2 school Cameron University last season and recorded a season-high of 17 points against Dallas Christian in December.

Previously, Don had begun his college career with North Iowa Area Community College in JUCO and averaged 9.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in his first season. In 2013, Don recorded a career-high of 28 points.

The move to CB Virgen marks a return to Spain for Don having also spent time at the Canarias Basketball Academy before venturing to the US.

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.
