GB Senior Men reveal 14-man training camp roster

Head Coach Marc Steutel has named 14-man Great Britain roster for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025 qualifiers this week.

Included in Steutel’s first squad since being confirmed as the permanent Head Coach in June 2023, are four GB squad debutantes in Dan Akin, Jubrile Belo, RJ Eytle-Rock and Josh Ward-Hibbert.

The list marks a return for veteran star Myles Hesson, who missed the most recent window, along with Akwasi Yeboah – one of GB’s strongest performers in Europe in recent years, but has not suited up for GB since 2021 when he received little court time, and Sacha Killeya-Jones.

With London Lions duo Gabe Olaseni and Tarik Philip both missing, along with rising 20-year old star Quinn Ellis – who has broken his foot – the team will have some big holes to fill.

GB face the Netherlands first in a home game on 23 February at the Vertu Arena in Newcastle and will then play the Czech Republic just three days later on 26 February.

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.
