Jamell Anderson re-signs with Riders for 2012

The Jelson Homes DMU Leicester Riders have today announced that Jamell Anderson will be returning to the club for the 2012/13 season.

Anderson, 22 years old only three days ago, was a revelation towards the end of last season, gaining big minutes in crunch time situations. His impressive play in the play-offs is something the Riders Head Coach, Rob Paternostro, wants to see more of.

“I spoke with Jamell at the end of the season and told him how happy I was with his contributions last season. We talked about him moving forward and how I want him to come into pre-season ready to compete for minutes.

“For our club, it’s great to have a GB Futures player on our roster. We believe Jamell is on his way to becoming a very good all around player and expect to see him be a major contributor next season.”

Anderson will be delighted to return to the Riders if his close-season comment of ‘I’ll definitely be here..no doubt about that’ is anything to go by.
