Robert Gilchrist has signed a short-term contract with BBL side Worcester Wolves, it was announced today.

The 27-year-old started his pro career in 2014 and has already played in Germany, Greece and Spain – ending last season at Araberri in LEB Gold, averaging 6.4 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Gilchrist made his GB Senior international debut against New Zealand in 2015 and was recently part of the initial 15-man squad ahead of the first window of World Cup Qualifiers.

“We are delighted to have secured the services of such a high quality player as Robert Gilchrist,” said Wolves Head Coach, Paul James.

“Even though this is a short term solution, we have a very hectic December schedule and this will bolster our squad while we look for a permanent fixture.”

Gilchrist is available to make his debut tonight as Worcester host Plymouth Raiders to start a busy month that also features a two-legged Cup semi-final against Sheffield Sharks.

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.
