Updated England U18 Squad to Open Camp in Manchester

By Sam Neter on March 28, 2016

The England Under-18 Men join up for their third training camp of the campaign this week at the National Basketball Performance Centre at Belle Vue in Manchester.

Following on from their opening camp in Sheffield and then the Haris Memorial Tournament over Christmas, Steve Bucknall’s squad still stands at 29, with 27 heading to Manchester on Tuesday to be put through their paces with a camp and match up with Division 1 side Lancashire Spinners before camp closing on Thursday evening.

The updated Under-18 squad includes a number of new names not on the initial list, who weren’t present at the initial camp or who weren’t involved at Haris, such as Derby’s Brian Amabilino-Perez, a dual UK/Spanish passport holder, England U16 Euro representative Cameron Bett, Leicester’s Johde Campbell, Manchester’s Recardo Eaton-Barnes, Barking Abbey/Kent’s RJ Eytle-Rock, London Greenhouse’s Kayne Henry, US-based Charlie Prager, and Eastside’s Josh Kanini.

Two more US based players and former Under-16s, in Nelson Boachie-Yiadom and Jacob Iwowo, will not be present in Manchester, but are still in the squad and expected to be in the running for the final 12 man European Championship team.

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.
