Tia Freeman is heading to Nottingham Wildcats for the 2019-20 season after three years in the WBBL at Oaklands Wolves.

The former GB Under-20 averaged 10.1 points per game last season to help the Wolves into the playoffs and made 50+ league appearances since her WBBL debut in 2016.

Freeman represented England at the Under-16 European Championships that same year and is now looking for success with the Wildcats.

“I’m looking to assist Nottingham in lifting a trophy and competing with the best the WBBL has to offer,” she said.

“Individually I want to be able to compete with the top players in the league and training with Nottingham’s roster should have a huge effect on my development. I can’t wait for the season to get underway and being one of the top contenders in the league.”

In 2018, Freeman was MVP after leading Oaklands to the Under-18 National Cup title with 30 points and 13 rebounds in the final victory.

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.
