Jordan Williams has extended his stay with Worcester Wolves after re-signing for the 2020-21 season.

The 24-year-old forward helped the club win the BBL Cup title last season and averaged 14.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in 11 league appearances.

Williams has previously played for Surrey Scorchers in multiple spells in the BBL and also had a stint in Germany with Giessen 46ers – and head coach Matt Newby is pleased to have him back.

“I feel last season Jordan made a significant impact on the league and was a key component in our success,” he said. “Arguably, he was one of the best interiors in the league and is a match up problem for most teams when he was playing at his peak.

“He has the ability to stretch the floor, is very well rounded in pick and roll and can get the ball on the floor and create from the perimeter; when you couple this with a well-rounded interior game which has both power and finesse as well as a strong passing game, then there is the makings of a next level big.

“He requires more consistency in several areas, but I feel that with the right application he can really go up a gear in terms of output this season.”

Worcester have also brought back Dutch guard Maarten Bouwknecht as well as signing American duo Mike Parks and Brandon Anderson.

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.
