Rob Marsden has re-signed at Sheffield Sharks for a fourth consecutive season to become the fourth returnee from last season.

The Yorkshire native joins Mike Tuck, Nicholas Lewis and American guard Mackey McKnight in staying with the Sharks after the early cancellation of the 2019-20 campaign.

Marsden averaged 10.9 points and 5.6 rebounds in the league for the Sharks with eight starts in 13 appearances.

“It’s great to have Marsden back on board,” said head coach, Atiba Lyons. “He embodies what the club is – a tough, blue-collar worker that puts his head down, works hard and never complains. He sets a great example for our younger guys.”

The 31-year-old previously spent two seasons at Leeds Force as well as a spell at Manchester Giants prior to a stint overseas with French side Cognac.

Sheffield’s last trophy in the BBL came in the 2015-16 season when they defeated Leicester Riders in the final of the playoffs as Tuck earned MVP honours.

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.
