Cheridene Green will begin her pro career in Poland next season after signing with Gorzow, it was confirmed this month.

The University of Tennessee graduate helped GB’s Senior Women on a historic run to fourth place at the recent FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2019.

Green gave Coach Chema Buceta a key inside presence off the bench with the 23-year-old averaging 4.6 points and 3.9 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game, whilst hitting the headlines with an incredible hustle play.

Gorzow went 14-10 in the regular season, but produced an impressive run to the playoff finals before losing 3-0 to CCC Polkowice – featuring Temi Fagbenle and Jo Leedham-Warner.

They earned a spot in this season’s EuroCup Women with Green the latest Brit to play in the competition after they were paired with Brno of Czech Republic, Neve David Ramla from Israel and a qualifier.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
