Leicester Riders are thrilled to announce the signing of Sesan Russell for the remainder of the 2023/24 British Basketball League season.
The 6’1” British guard comes off the back of a four-year collegiate career for Florida Tech University in the NCAA Division II, where he averaged 18.8 points, 6.9 assists and 5.3 rebounds as a senior.
Russell has been a member of the Riders family since 2015, joining Charnwood College at the age of 16. He went on to play for the Loughborough Riders until 2018 and represented Great Britain for the under-18s and under-20s.
He helped Charnwood to an NBL Division I title, earning EABL West Player of the Year and All-West First Team selection in 2018, and lifted the NBL Division I title with Loughborough.
Head Coach Rob Paternostro commented:
“Sesan is a guy that we know well. He came through our academy and saw some time on our bench during that time, so he understands the club and what it takes to be a Rider.
“He brings a combination of scoring and passing, and he was excellent at Florida Tech. I know the coaches there were really impressed by him. He’s someone that can step in and make a real impact out there.”
Russell added:
“It’s a pleasure to be back with the Riders. Thank you to Coach Rob and Russell for the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to getting out there with the team.”
