Prior was part of the England Women’s squad that won silver at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and also recently represented GB in the lead up to Women’s EuroBasket 2019.

Last season, Prior featured in nine league games with averages of 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

“Being part of the Wildcats family is just part of who I am and have always been,” said Prior, via the Wildcats. “The club has a rich 40-year history that has always been based on a strong family ethos.

“I’m lucky to have been part of it my whole life and I’m excited to continue to bring success to it, this season and for many years to come.”

The Wildcats have also re-signed Tia Freeman alongside American Chelsey Shumpert and Portuguese guard Simone Costa with junior prospects Shaniya Rose and Praise Egharevba also returning.

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.
