Will Saunders is to make his season debut after signing in Romania’s top-flight with CSU Sibiu.

The GB forward – who was part of the squad that qualified for EuroBasket 2017 in the summer – has not played competitively since a spell in Italy last season.

“”Will is a player who trained a week with us,” said Horace Floca, director of BC CSU Sibiu.

“He was transferred to increase the rotation of foreign players in the team, given that follows a busy time, with two games per week. We have great confidence in the coaching staff and current team who brought us the podium at the end of the first phase of the league, and we believe that Will Saunders can replace any of the five foreign players.”

Saunders averaged 7.4 points and 5 rebounds in 7 games with Angelico Biella in Italy’s A2 last season and also played for Novipiu Casale (A2) where he averaged 6.7ppg and 4.1rpg in 20 outings.

The 1991 born forward graduated from Charleston Southern in 2015, being voted All-Big South Conference 2nd Team and also won an NJCAA D1 championship title in 2013 with the College of Central Florida.

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.
