Ashley Hamilton is back in Spain for another spell in LEB Gold after joining Basquet Coruna to commence his 2019-20 season.

The GB forward spent last season at London City Royals in their debut year in the BBL, and was believed to be on a multi-year deal.

Hamilton helped the club win the BBL Trophy with an impressive display, taking the MVP award with 25 points and 14 rebounds in an overtime triumph against London Lions in the final.

However, the 31-year-old returns to Spain having helped Manresa – Luke Nelson’s current club – to promotion with victory in the LEB Gold playoff finals in 2018.

During the EuroBasket 2021 pre-qualifers, Hamilton marked his return to the Senior setup with 7.0 points and 5.8 rebounds per game over the course of six appearances as GB made it through.

Coruna have an 8-3 record in the LEB Gold standings with the league winners earning direct promotion to the ACB.

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.
