Devon Van Oostrum has signed a short-term deal to return to Spanish side Huesca as the domestic league in the Netherlands is currently suspended.

The 27-year-old stayed with his older brother, Nigel Van Oostrum as the duo re-signed with Landstede Hammers for the 2020-21 campaign, but have not played since mid-October.

Van Oostrum will join Huesca in LEB Gold for a four-week period before the expected resumption of the Dutch league in the New Year.

“We give him the opportunity to play at a good level for four weeks,” said GM Aart Van der Horst, via release. “In this way he will be more fit for a resumption of the competition in the Netherlands. Because the mission remains the same: to keep the group together so that they can perform together later.”

Van Oostrum previously played for Huesca in 2015 following a one-game spell in the BBL with Leeds Force.

Huesca currently have a 1-3 record in LEB Gold action with GB’s Jacob Round featuring in the four games so far, while DVO could be set for a second debut next week.

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.
