Will Neighbour has extended his stay with Plymouth Raiders for the upcoming campaign having re-joined the club midway through last season.

The 30-year-old averaged 11.3 points per game in four league appearances having started the season with London City Royals before they folded.

Neighbour’s first spell at the club came during the 2017-18 campaign following two seasons with Surrey Scorchers having also played in Hungary, Sweden and Spain.

“I’m really looking forward to coming back and playing for Plymouth,” he said. “During my time at the club I have built several good loyal friends who have treated me like family.

“So, I have another level of love for Plymouth and the Raiders now, this feels like home. Looks like we are going to have an incredibly talented team and I’m very excited about getting on court with everyone and competing for a Championship.”

Neighbour links up with former Royals and GB Under-20 team-mate Andrew Lawrence with American guard Rickey McGill also signed following his rookie year in Greece.

Despite Neighbour’s return, it’s expected to be a new-look roster for Plymouth with the departures of Josh Wilcher, Rashad Hassan and Isa Brandon to BBL rivals already confirmed as well as overseas moves for Ryan Richards and Gary Talton.

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.
