Seipt Signs for Team Newcastle

​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.
