Cam Hildreth stays, Max Richardson joins as Worthing Thunder reveal roster

By Bradley Gains on September 10, 2020

Worthing Thunder have announced their roster ahead of the 2020-21 season with Cam Hildreth staying for a second season, while Max Richardson re-joins from a year overseas.

Hildreth dropped 30 points on his NBL D1 debut and showcased his talent to European audiences in the ANGT with Barking Abbey and returns to the Thunder, despite attracting interest from the BBL – Hoopsfix understands.

Richardson is back at the club having spent two years in Norway following his time at Loughborough University since his last spell with the Thunder.

The 1995-born forward averaged 9.4 points per game for Kongsberg in the 2019-20 campaign as the team dominated over his two years.

Meanwhile, managing director and former BBL league MVP Zaire Taylor will continue to suit up next season and is joined by Tom Ward, Ishmael Fontaine, Josh Goddard, Nicolas Ballone and Dominic Ives in returning with Jack Sunderland also back at the club.

American forward/centre Howard Crawford – who previously played in the BBL – is a new addition to the team.

The NBL season is set to start on the first weekend of October with a new ‘Challenge Cup’ created to open proceedings.

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.
