Chloe Gaynor has been confirmed as Newcastle Eagles’ latest signing ahead of the 2021-22 WBBL season.

The former Nottingham Wildcats forward becomes the latest member of the 98/99-born club with the Eagles also bringing in Ebony Horton, Jessica Eadsforth-Yates and Anna Popovic and re-signing Abby Lowe.

Gaynor links back up with Lowe with the duo having played together at Barking Abbey – winning the inaugural WEABL Championship title in 2016 when Gaynor was Finals MVP.

“I was super impressed with the Eagles’ talent and attitude last season and I’m looking forward to linking up with Abby again,” said Gaynor, via release. “We talked a lot throughout last season and she loved the togetherness at the heart of the Newcastle team.

“It was incredible to see the Eagles go on that run all the way to the playoff final. To do that in spite of losing so many players and against the backdrop of a pandemic was remarkable.

“It’s so exciting to become a part of that group and see what I can bring to the team.”

The Eagles have also confirmed the return of American guard Maddy McVicar, whilst bringing in U19 Egyptian international Menna El Gharini.

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.
