WELLS CALLS TIME
Plymouth Raiders centre Zak Wells is to retire from basketball at the end of the season.
The former Great Britain Under-20 cap, who has captained the BBL outfit for the past two years, will bow out at the age of 26.
He also played in Slovenia and Spain but will now step away following a decision to quit.
“I know it’s one I will not regret,” he said.
“I have had the privilege of playing professionally for seven years now, both abroad and domestically, and have had the honour of representing my Country with the Great Britain men’s team.
“I always knew that playing basketball wasn’t something I was looking to do for years and years. I now look forward to starting a new career and facing new challenges pursuing various business ventures.
“It has been a pleasure to end my career here in Plymouth, as they have been so good to me, for which I couldn’t be more thankful. I wish them nothing but success in the future and I look forward to following them, and getting to a game to watch next season.â€
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.
