“I’m really excited to be playing for the Scorchers this season,” he said, via release. “Lloyd has coached me several times over the years, and I always enjoyed playing for him.

“The Scorchers fan base is top class – I’m looking forward to playing in front of them at SSP and helping this team have a great season.”

Scorchers Head Coach Lloyd Gardner commented: “Despite still being young, Kyle is now an experienced player in our league.

“In my view he has been improving year on year and I’m looking forward to working with him again. He has had a strong summer and I think set to take a step forward in his career.”

Carey suited up in the inaugural Hoopsfix Pro-Am this summer and the former GB Under-20 guard joins GB’s Josh Steel on the Scorchers roster. The club have also added South Sudan international Padiet Wang as well as Luke Busumbru from NBL D1 side Solent Kestrels.

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.
