Overseas Recruitment Begins

30/7/2018

0 Comments

 
The Knights began to bolster their roster Monday afternoon with the signing of  versatile guard Eric Stafford, formerly  of NCAA Division  I side Lafayette College.

At 6'5",  Eric has the ability to play multiple positions on the floor, with or without the ball.  He arrives in Newcastle with a reputation as a player with a high basketball IQ, vision and feel for the game. This was evidenced by an assist to turnover ratio of 1.8 over 30 games as a starter, good for sixth in the league in this category.

In the 2017/18 season, he also led   his team  in assists and steals and led  guards in  rebounds.  This ability to affect the game on both ends will prove invaluable to the Knights during the upcoming BUCS and NBL seasons. As a co-captain at Lafayette this past season,  he will provide a strong leadership presence on the court in both competitions.

In addition to playing for the Knights, Eric will  be continuing his education by studying a master's degree in  finance and economics.
