Myles Hesson is finally set to suit up for Nanterre in France’s top-flight having re-signed for the club after his initial contract was cancelled.

“It’s great to be back playing regularly and I’m delighted to join Nanterre”, reflected Myles.

“Nanterre have a strong set-up and compete at the highest level in the European competitions so it’s a great opportunity for me.

“I enjoy playing in the Pro-A and can’t wait to get going with my new team.”

Hesson averaged 12.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last season for Gravelines.

The 27-year-old’s initial switch was confirmed in the summer, but due to his injury situation, Nanterre opted for a replacement prior to the start of the season.

Hesson made his competitive return from injury last month in GB’s World Cup Qualifiers against Greece and Estonia having missed EuroBasket 2017 due to the fractured tibia he sustained back in February.

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.
