Worcester Wolves have announced the signing of Great Britain and England international Kofi Josephs for the upcoming 2019-20 season.

Ex-Leeds head coach Matt Newby has taken the reigns in Worcester following the departure of Tony Garbelotto at the end of last season in which the Wolves finished in the bottom two.

“I am excited about the arrival of Kofi,” said Newby. “It’s important that we have high calibre domestic players within our core and I feel Kofi has the ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor – he brings versatility to our perimeter with a consistency from range and the ability to create his own advantage.”

Josephs previously played for Glasgow Rocks in the BBL after making the GB Senior squad at EuroBasket 2017 and went on to play for England at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in the Gold Coast.

The Birmingham native began playing in Germany following his college career and had brief spells in Spain and Switzerland before playing in Iceland and Sweden last season.

Josephs averaged 9.9 points per game at Nassjo to finish the 2018-19 campaign with 52% shooting from 3-point range having put up 21+ points over six games with Breidablik.

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.
