Josh Steel returns to BBL to join Manchester Giants

By Bradley Gains on July 30, 2021

Josh Steel has returned to the BBL to sign with Manchester Giants for the upcoming 2021-22 season having spent the past three years in Spain.

The GB international previously spent a year and a half with Surrey Scorchers before moving overseas midway through the 2017-18 campaign.

“I’m really excited about coming back to play at home in the BBL and having the chance to be in Manchester this season,” said Steel, via release. “I’m optimistic about the direction of the club and can’t wait to meet the fans.”

Steel played in LEB Silver – Spain’s third tier – for consecutive seasons with Moron and then CDP Ponferrada with double digit scoring averages at both clubs.

The 24-year-old is the second confirmed signing for the Giants this summer following their move to bring Jamell Anderson to the club.

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.
