Jamell Anderson is heading to Europe for the 2017-18 season after signing in Spain with LEB Silver side La Roda.

The 26-year-old has spent the past seven seasons in the BBL with Essex Pirates, Leicester Riders and Cheshire Phoenix – winning six titles at Leicester.

Anderson makes the move following a summer stint in Australia where he recently helped Townsville Heat claim the QBL Championship title.

The Nottingham native took on a different role last season having left Leicester to become captain at Cheshire, averaging 10+ points per game in the 2016-17 campaign.

Anderson is also a former GB Under-20 international having competed in back-to-back European Championship campaigns in 2009-10.

La Roda are a newly-promoted side in LEB Silver having risen from the Spanish four tier, EBA, last 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.
