British forward comes to Worcester

Stuart Thomson is the latest recruit to the new-look side that Worcester Wolves’ Director of Basketball Paul James is putting together for the new season that begins in less than two weeks.
Cheshire-born Stuart is the younger brother of former Newcastle Eagles centre Andrew Thomson, who recently made a big-money move to Europe. Like Andrew, 24-year-old Stuart studied and played basketball at Catawba College in the USA, averaging 6 points and 2 rebounds per game in his final year.
Paul James is pleased to be adding a promising British forward to his squad, saying: ”Stuart has had an interesting upbringing to his game. He represented his country at junior level, before taking the same path as his brother Andrew in going over to college in the States. He has put together some useful numbers which I will now be looking for him to carry over into his game at the Wolves.”
6 foot 6 inch Thomson is excited to be coming to Worcester, commenting: ”I’m very happy to be joining the Wolves. It’s a team that has already started its climb to the top and I’m glad I can be a part of the success. I’m looking forward to an exciting and competitive season.”
Wolves’ first game of the new campaign will take place at the University of Worcester Sports Centre on Saturday 22 September (tip off 7pm) against the Durham Wildcats.
