“The Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders have recruited England U-18 Point guard, Connor Washington for the remainder of the season.

His arrival at the Riders will give coach Paternostro some relief at the point guard position following the sudden departures of guards, Flinder Boyd and John Griffin both of whom left mid-season.

Washington has previous BBL experience having played for the Milton Keynes Lions during the 2010/11 season after which time he went to America to play Division II basketball.

Paternostro is pleased with the newest Rider and feels that his addition can only improve the existing squad;

“In practice it’s been great. We’ve had guys going against each other and making each other better and from what I’ve seen so far, he’s able to do that and we’ll see how it all plays out when the games start.”

The Leicester Riders are hosting the Sheffield Sharks tonight at the Jon Sandford Sports Centre with tip-off coming at 7:30pm.”
