LAWRENCE A ROYAL ACQUISITION
Great Britain guard Andrew Lawrence has joined London City Royals.
The long-anticipated switch sees the Surrey-born playmaker move from Italian A2 side Latina where he averaged 15 points and 4 assists per game last term.
Lawrence had admitted he was open to a move to the BBL when talking to MVP earlier this summer and will join a Royals side in flux following the arrival of new coach Lloyd Gardner.
The London 2012 Olympian recently joined a Loughborough Select on a tour of China and is the first new arrival in south London this off-season.
The club have also named Daniel James as associate head coach. He is likely to join Gardner in helping to expand the Royals nascent academy programme.
“I am very excited to continue with last year’s momentum and help push British Basketball forward and for the chance to work with and nurture grassroots basketball here in London with the London City Royals community outreach programmes,” he said.

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.
