Two Team England internationals got engaged at the Commonwealth Games on Sunday as Jamell Anderson proposed to long-term girlfriend, Georgia Jones.

Both Anderson and Jones helped their respective sides to important victories before Anderson got down on one knee after breaking from a huddle with his team-mates following a win against Cameroon.

“We both worked so hard for this opportunity to be here,” Anderson said, via BBC Sport.

“Basketball is a very big part of our relationship so it just made sense to do it here.”

Anderson plays for Spanish side La Roda, while Jones competes in the WBBL with hometown Manchester Mystics under her father Jeff Jones – who was in the stands for the moment, while her brother, Callum Jones is part of the England squad alongside Anderson.

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.
