​For the second time in as many days, the Knights have dipped into the NBL Division 2 talent pool to sign a player that played against them last year. This time sees the arrival of Ben Seipt.

Currently studying at Durham University, the former Tees Valley Mohawks standout averaged  18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game last year in Division 2. He also scored 19 points against the Knights in the Division 2 Playoff Quarter-finals, with the Knights narrowly taking the win at 67-65.

At 6'5'',  the former England U17 Small Forward adds another versatile scoring option from the wing, which should prove important in breaking down the better defenses the Knights expect to face this upcoming season after last year's successful promotion campaign.

The latest recruit  ahead of the 2017/18 season is Kingsley Pinda, formerly of Hyeres-Toulon. The 6'3'' Parisian shooting guard has also had previous stays in the  French professional leagues with Nancy and Evreux.

​During this time he has shown the sort of reliability from 3 point range that opponents will have to be aware of when he is on the court.

Kingsley was also part of the squad that won a Silver medal at the U20 European  Championship in 2012 - this winning mentality will undoubtedly help him blend in with the rest of the team. 

Head Coach Ian Hewitt was pleased with the pickup, saying, "Kingsley is an exciting addition to the squad, he brings a lot of experience from playing in Pro A and Pro B in France which will be great to draw from."
