Jordan Spencer has re-signed with London Lions ahead of the 2021-22 BBL season, the club announced on Wednesday morning.

The former GB Under-20 guard rejoined the club in December after a short break from the game and added the BBL Trophy title to his haul of silverware in the league having previously won the double with the club.

Spencer made 18 league appearances last season with averages of 2.9 points and 3.4 assists per game in 16.1 minutes per outing on a deep roster.

“It’s fantastic to have Jordan continue his time here with the Lions for another season,” said Vince Macaulay, via release. “This will be his fourth season with the team, and he was part of our amazing lineup that took out the BBL Championship title for the first time in 2019. He always brings some dynamic play to the table – we’re excited he’s sticking around.”

The 26-year-old continues his back-court partnership with two-time league MVP Justin Robinson, who returns having signed a two-year deal last summer, while fellow Londoner Jordan Williams is one of three newcomers to the team.

The Lions will head to Italy for their Basketball Champions League qualifiers when they take on hosts, Treviso, in their first round encounter – needing three wins to reach the Regular Season for the first time.

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.
