Kavell Bigby-Williams has signed with Polish side Anwil Włocławek.

The three-time Polish champions bring in the 6’11” GB big man after he split time last season between Italy and Belgium’s top flight – his first year in Europe after playing in the G-League for his rookie year.

“I am happy to be a part of a great organisation,” Bigby-Williams said (via Google Translate). “I will work hard and try to help as best as possible. The club is known for its success – and I want to be a part of a team that will bring it back to its rightful place.

“The way coach talked to me, his vision and the presentation of my role, it was a no-brainer.”

The club competed in the FIBA Europe Cup last season, but this year will be entering a new competition called the European North Basketball League, aimed at clubs in Northern, central or Eastern Europe that cannot compete in the Basketball Champions League or FIBA Europe for various reasons but still want to face European competition.

It is likely to feature eight teams, with participants already confirmed from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Belarus.

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.
