Fraser Malcolm has re-signed with Glasgow Rocks for another season in the BBL ahead of the upcoming 2020-21 campaign.

The former GB Under-20 – and Scotland athlete at the 2018 Commonwealth Games – becomes the first confirmed signing in Gareth Murray’s new reign as player-coach.

Malcolm averaged 3.2 points per game in 12 league appearances last season with a best of 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting coming against Sheffield Sharks in January.

“I’m really excited to re-sign with the Glasgow Rocks for my second professional season,” he said. “The team chemistry and support we received last year had me eager to return. I’m looking forward to playing for Coach G and playing in front of our amazing Rocks supporters.”

Murray added: “Bringing Fraser back for another season was an easy decision, with limited minutes last season he showed some bright spells.

“I will be looking for him to bring that youthfulness energy he showed in the Commonwealth Games. With a bigger role to play this year, I think we will see a lot more productivity and confidence from him.”

Glasgow were on course for their first-ever league title in the BBL last season having led the Championship standings with five games to go before the season was cancelled with no champion decided.

Vincent Lavandier has since departed, leaving for French side Avignon with Ali Fraser among three players to follow suit to the third division.

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.
