Holly Winterburn is set for two more years at London Lions after re-signing with the EuroCup side ahead of the coming season.

The 21-year-old joined the Lions last summer and helped played an important role in their clean sweep of WBBL competitions – earning the MVP award in the Trophy Final – whilst playing in Europe for the first time.

Winterburn now has seven pieces of domestic silverware in her collection and made a GB Senior debut during last season’s campaign.

The Lions have maintained their British core going into the 2022-23 campaign with Kennedy Leonard, Shanice Beckford-Norton, Chantel Charles, Azania Stewart and Paige Robinson returning.

Meanwhile, Cassie Breen, Steph Umeh, Leah McDerment and Valentina Klocker all departed the club with reigning MVP Jo Leedham-Warner retiring following last season’s success.

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.
