Van Oostrum brothers Devon and Nigel will play together again next season after re-signing with Landstede Hammers for the 2020-21 campaign.

29-year-old Nigel Van Oostrum helped the club win their first-ever league title in 2018-19 and has spent his entire pro career in the Netherlands since finishing his college career in 2014.

The siblings hold dual British-Dutch nationality with Devon Van Oostrum – two years younger – linking up in Zwolle last season having previously played in Spain, Finland, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia and Lithuania as well as a one-game stint in the BBL with Leeds Force.

Landstede had a 17-3 record at the top of their domestic division before the season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and they are expected to compete once again in FIBA Europe Cup action next season.

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.
