Nicholas Lewis will return for another season with Sheffield Sharks after a one-year extension was confirmed.

The former GB Under-20 guard was averaging 15.1 points per game along with 4.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists for the Sharks before the 2019-20 season was cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Lewis first joined the club in 2012 and enjoyed a three-year spell that included winning the BBL Trophy title in 2013.

The Canadian native moved to London Lions in the 2015-16 season and then played in NBL Division 1 with Solent Kestrels after a break away from the game before re-joining Sheffield last summer.

“We all felt like last season was robbed from us due to the virus, so I’m looking forward to
coming back and building off of last season,” said Lewis. “Silverware is always the goal.”

Head coach Atiba Lyons added: “Nick’s the type of guy that plays with a chip on his shoulder and can bring it on both ends of the floor.

“His outside shooting but also his pace, stability, and decision making over the last season was impressive. The continuity of the team, so far, will really help us hits the ground running once the season starts.”

Sheffield have already confirmed the return of long-serving captain Mike Tuck for his 12th year at the club as well as American point guard Mackey McKnight.

Meanwhile, Cheshire Phoenix announced the signing of American guard Kahron Ross – full BBL ins/outs tracker coming soon!

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.
