Fletcher had a season overseas in Slovakia before returning to Newcastle having won numerous pieces of silverware during his time with the club.

“I’m excited to sign in Manchester,” he said, via release. “New situation from what I’ve been a part of for the past seven years in Newcastle – a place I will always hold close to me and be grateful for what we’ve achieved while being there.

“Now it’s time to embark on new challenges and goals, and I’m really looking forward to doing that in Manchester. A wonderful city that I’ve been to many times and a strong basketball culture with support from fans as well – looking forward to getting started.”

Fletcher is the first signing for the Giants as they begin to assemble their roster for the new season.

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.
