He said: “I will do all I can to help push the club to the next level with my experience in Europe.â€
A roster spot opened up after the reigning BBL champions unexpectedly cut Matthew Bryan-Amaning last week.
But Lions Head Coach Vince Macaulay added” “It is important to have someone that can operate in the paint, battle hard night in night out who has the experience required for what we want to achieve, he carries himself the right way and has been an instant hit with the team.â€

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.
