Ella Clark is returning to basketball, two years after seemingly quitting sport.
The Great Britain forward, a much-missed presence on the international stage, has signed for Leicester Riders.
Her arrival in the WBBL will be the first time Clark has played hoops since a knee injury in 2017.
“Excited to have this opportunity to return to basketball with one of the best teams in the country,†she said.
“It’s been two years since I last played. I took a break after doing my ACL, and I’ve missed it a lot, which is the main reason for trying to get back in to playing.â€
Clark will feature for the Riders in tandem with turning out in semi-popular recreational hobby, netball, for Loughborough.
Leicester, who lifted the WBBL Trophy last term, have also signed Christina Gaskin.

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.
