Worcester Wolves go big with the signing of Amir Williams.

The Worcester Wolves have signed American Centre Amir Williams to fill the vacant import spot in their roster.

At 6ft 11, Amir brings size and strength in and around the paint as well as a defensive and offensive skillset that will compliment and strengthen the franchises roster.

Amir represented Ohio State University in the NCAA and from graduating signed for G League franchise Rio Grande Valley Vipers and represented the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA Summer League.

More recently he has played in New Zealand NBL with IMS Payroll Hawks and in Europe with Atomeromu SE in the Hungarian NBIA and BC Boncourt Red Team in the Swiss LNA where he averaged 14.3 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 30 games and 31.1 minutes a game.

Matt Newby is very excited to see Amir join the Worcester Wolves roster.

“Amir is a calibre player with great basketball heritage, I am excited to see the impact that he will have on our team and in the BBL”

There are some great match ups in the League for him and we can’t wait to see him on the floor in a Worcester Wolves jersey.

His interior presence will bring a stronger integrity to defence and provide us with different looks offensively.”

Amir cannot wait to get started with the Worcester Wolves.

“At this moment in my career it’s the right time and place to be. Worcester have aspirations that meet my own and I am excited to be coming to the BBL and playing in front of the Wolf Pack.”
