Graham-Bell reunites with former GB Under-20 head coach Steutel and is looking forward to the upcoming campaign.

“It feels great to be playing for this club and I hope the fans are excited to start the season,” said Graham-Bell.

“The Eagles have always been a team that’s in the conversation for me and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Newcastle, which made the decision to come here easy.

“I hope to bring the full package of offence, defence and energy. I take pride in doing all these things to the best of my ability and I can say without a doubt those skills have increased and will continue to.”

The Eagles will be without long-term star point guard Rahmon Fletcher after he joined Manchester Giants.

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.
