Dan Clark Returns to Fuenlabrada

By Sam Neter on July 31, 2018

Great Britain big man Dan Clark has returned to ACB side Fuenlabrada, the same team he was with during the 2014-15 season.

Clark averaged 11.5 points and 5 rebounds in 23 minutes of play last year for Gipuzkoa, cementing his status as one of the best power forwards in the ACB.

The official Fuenlabrada announcement reports at least four ACB clubs were vying for his services, before he decided on returning to his former team.

“Clark in the position of four is one of the best additions we can make, taking into account that he is a local player, and above all because he is in an optimum state of maturity, at thirty,” said Ferran López, Montakit Fuenlabrada’s Sports Director (via Google translate).

“Last season they sing on their own, few players in their position reached them, they can bring us an outside shot, open the field, they also have the possibility of moving between four and four and a half, I think it comes at the optimal moment of their career contribute what we are looking for.”

Clark averaged 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists through GB’s most recent FIBA World Cup 2019 qualifying campaign, where they came up short. The GB Senior side will now enter the EuroBasket 2021 Pre-Qualifiers, where they will face Austria and Armenia in September in a bid to make the EuroBasket 2021 Qualifiers.

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.
