Handy also competed in EuroLeague Women action as the only British representative in the competition with Castors Braine dropping into EuroCup Women before the season was curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A 2012 Olympian, Handy has amassed over 100 caps for the GB Senior side and has been a regular in major tournaments including last year’s historic run to fourth place at EuroBasket Women 2019.

Zaragoza, who previously had Rachael Vanderwal on their roster, finished with a 9-13 record as the league was cancelled and have also added Spanish international Laura Nicholls and Belgian star Julie Vanloo to next season’s squad.

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.
