Mo Soluade has joined Spanish top-flight side Gipuzkoa on loan from Liga Endesa rivals Unicaja Malaga, it has been announced.

The GB U20 guard had been playing in the third tier – LEB Silver – with Clinicas Rincon, and will now join up with fellow Brit Andrew Lawrence for the remainder of the season.

Soluade has averages of 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game in 12 outings so far in the 2015-16 season.

The 20-year-old joined Malaga back in 2011, and has gone on to make his Euroleague debut with a career night against CSKA along with a handful of appearances in the ACB, having spent the majority of his spell at junior club Clinicas Rincon.

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.
