London Lions are understood to have signed GB international guard Mo Soluade, Hoopsfix can reveal.

Soluade has spent the majority of his playing career in Spain and would be set for a debut season in the BBL with the added lure of playing in EuroCup competition in his hometown.

The 26-year-old has previously played in the EuroLeague after suiting up as a teenager for Unicaja Malaga back in 2015 and last played for GB during the EuroBasket pre-qualifiers.

London have also been linked with other GB internationals with MVP’s Mark Woods revealing the club are expected to pursue Ovie Soko and Tarik Phillip.

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.
