Herbert-Harrigan was the second-leading scorer in the league with 18.7 points per game, whilst adding 5.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 19 appearances in the regular season.

The 24-year-old received 18 first-placed votes from across the league’s coaches and captains with Ashley Arlen, Karly Murphy and Harriet Ottewill-Soulsby also earning first-placed votes.

Herbert-Harrigan also claimed MVP honours in the WBBL Trophy final after pouring in 33 points in a win over Leicester Riders, but departed for WNBA training camp shortly prior to the end of the regular 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.
