Daniel Edozie has agreed a new one-year deal to remain with Bristol Flyers for the upcoming 2020-21 season.

The 27-year-old has been with the club since joining out of Iowa University in 2015 before becoming captain in 2018.

“We are pleased to have Dan back for another season,” said head coach Andreas Kapoulas. “He is our captain and it’s been great to see his growth, both on and off the court over the last five years.

“It’s not just his ability and knowledge of our system, but the leadership role that he plays and the energy that he brings every single day.

“He is valued by all the players and staff and to be able to bring him back for another season is huge for us.”

Edozie averaged 6.8 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in 12 league appearances during the shortened 2019-20 campaign with his only double-double coming against London Lions in December.

Bristol had a 5-7 league record before the season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, while they also reached their first final in the BBL – losing to Worcester Wolves in the BBL Cup.

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.
