Eric Boateng has returned to Blois for a second spell at the club having helped them win the NM1 league title last season.

The GB centre averaged 10.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in 32 appearances as the team secured promotion to Pro-B.

Boateng average played an important role as GB Senior Men qualified for next year’s EuroBasket 2017 and had a summer-high of 18 points on 6-6 shooting in the home win against Macedonia.

The 30-year-old replaces Stephen Nwaukoni, who has left Blois to join NM1 side Angers following an injury picked up by Demond Watt – formerly of Cheshire Phoenix and London Lions.

Blois have currently lost all three league games and take on Roanne at the weekend in what could be Boateng’s second debut for the club.

Ryan Martin is also playing out in France’s Pro-B league with league leaders, Provence – averaging 3.7 points and 4.3 rebounds per game so far in his rookie pro season.

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.
