Jordan Williams has become the latest confirmed signing for Worcester Wolves as Matt Newby assembles a new-look roster for the 2019-20 season.

The 23-year-old forward joins a number of British talent on the team with Kofi Josephs, Raheem May-Thompson and Kyle Carey all signed up as the club adopts a different approach.

“It will be a good opportunity to start afresh with a new team,” he told Hoopsfix at DENG Camp. “A new coach, a new system and coming back to the BBL, it’s different from Surrey, but a new opportunity.

“With some young guys on the team, we will have energy and hopefully can do something good. Playoffs are definitely the main goal.”

Williams has lots of BBL experience with Surrey Scorchers, and was named MVP after leading his side to the title at the 2018 edition of the British Basketball All-Stars Championship at the Copper Box Arena.

However, the former GB Under-20 left the Scorchers in November to head overseas and finished last season in Germany with third division side Giessen 46ers II – averaging 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds per game in 18 appearances.

Worcester finished second bottom in the BBL last season with a 6-27 record having also been involved in the highest scoring game in league history as they beat Surrey Scorchers 152-150 in quadruple overtime.

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.
