Ali Fraser Makes Leeuwarden Switch

By Bradley Gains on October 22, 2015

Ali Fraser is heading to the Netherlands after leaving Spanish side Tarragona to join to-flight Dutch outfit Leeuwarden, the club confirmed.

The Scottish forward will team up with fellow Brit Nigel van Oostrum, who is in his first full season with the club having joined midway through last season.

Fraser has been frustrated by injuries in recent seasons having started the last campaign at Glasgow Rocks before a knee problem curtailed his time in the BBL.

The 23-year-old started this season in the third division in Spain with Tarragon and averaged 9.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in two appearances in LEB Silver.

Leeuwarden are currently 0-2 in the Eredivisie standings having finished last season in sixth with an overall 8-20 record.

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.
