James – a product of the South-West – previously played for Charnwood and Loughborough as part of the Leicester Riders programme and was selected amongst the top junior players to compete at the Under-19 Women’s game at the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic last summer.

“We are so happy to see Molly join our programme,” said Queens head coach Jay Marriott. “For Molly, we think we are the perfect fit for her style of game and we are in a place where we can give her the time necessary to grow into this level of play.

“There is no doubt she has huge potential and we will work with her to continue her development.”

James is in line to make a debut for the 3-6 Queens on the road against Caledonia Pride this weekend as the league debutants look to make a push for the playoffs, currently sitting in ninth.

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.
