Great Britain captain Dan Clark is staying in Spain.
The 32-year-old is dropping down one tier from the ACB to join Madrid club, Real Canoe, who play in the country’s second division, LEB Oro.
Last season, the Londoner played for Andorra for a short spell but insisted the move should not be seen as a step down but an opportunity to showcase his talent after two seasons of injuries.
“On a personal level, I want to get back to being the player that I have shown that I can be,” he said. “I continue to aspire to play at the highest level. and I think I still have a lot of basketball within me. I will also put everything at the disposal of the team to win as many games as possible.
“I do not see being the star as a responsibility. Rather it is a privilege. My greatest contribution I believe will be helping the team through the experience and education that I have had playing in a competition like the ACB.”

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.
