Wildcat Sean Becomes a Wolf
Following on from announcing the signing of star guard Chavis Holmes, Worcester Wolves head coach Paul James continues to bolster his backcourt troops with the recruitment of fellow American Sean Park.
24-year-old Park comes to Worcester fresh out of California’s Chico State University, where he helped the Wildcats reach the ‘Elite Eight’ of the NCAA Division II tournament, the best achievement in the school’s history.
The 6 feet 4 inch guard is delighted to be moving between two organisations that have both tasted recent success, saying: “I’m very excited to be joining the Wolves. As a rookie, it was important for me that I become a part of a winning situation.”
Last season’s considerable feat of having won both the BBL Trophy and the BBL Play-Off Final means the Wolves will have a target on their backs for other teams to aim at.
Paul James is glad to have extra ammunition to fire back at the competition, saying: “Sean is a player that will fit in well to our system and contribute to our team ethos. He knows how to put the ball in the hole and will be an asset and extend the depth of our team.”
In his final season as a Wildcat, British passport holder Park averaged thirteen points per outing as well as pulling down five rebounds and serving up a couple of assists. He is eager to serve his new employer, declaring simply: “I look forward to doing whatever I can to help bring a championship to Worcester.”
