Liam Carpenter will continue his pro career in Germany after signing with Pro-B side LOK Bernau for the 2020-21 campaign.

The former GB Under-20 guard now holds German citizenship and spent last season with top-flight side Crailsheim – averaging 5.3 minutes per game in the BBL.

Carpenter returned to action amidst the coronavirus pandemic – which had postponed the season – with a post-season tournament played in Munich to finish the campaign and will now play in the second division.

“We have been watching Liam for two years,” said head coach Rene Schilling, via the official website. “He’s still quite young, but still an accomplished player who can direct the game.

“We also see some potential in him, so that in our rotation he has the chance to prove himself at a higher level with a lot of responsibility.”

Bernau had an 11-11 record in Pro-B during the 2019-20 season that was cut short due to COVID-19.

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.
