Great Britain captain

Those achievements represent a winner and it is a winner who the Leicester Riders have sensationally signed today as they announce the signing of GB captain and arguably the best player in the BBL, Andrew Sullivan, on a week to week contract with a view to a permanent move.

In a move that will rock the entire British Basketball League, the Leicester Riders have signed the 6’8 forward to a team that is only
days away from embarking on it’s BBL campaign, starting this Sunday against the Cheshire Jets, a game which Sullivan will be available to play in.

Sullivan played in the BBL last season as he helped lead the Mersey Tigers to a treble of the BBL Championship, Play-offs and Trophy
before leaving in the summer following difficulties at the Liverpool club.

The Leicester Riders face the London Leopards at the John Sandford Sports Centre on Saturday 15th October at 7:30pm before travelling to play the Jets in Cheshire. Tip-off is at 5:30pm.
