Hannah Robb and Anna Lappenkuper will link up in the Leicester Riders back-court again next season after their returns were confirmed.

The club announced Canadian guard Brooklyn McAlear-Fanus as their first new signing of the season with Robb and Lappenkuper back for their second seasons at the club.

Robb made the switch from Caledonia Pride in the summer of 2020 and has become a GB Senior international, while Lappenkuper arrived out of college having represented Germany at Under-20 level.

“I’m very excited to be back for another year with the Riders,” said Robb, via release. “It’s a great opportunity for me to continue to grow individually and with the team. I had a lot of fun last year and I’m eager to get back out there and build upon what we achieved last season.

“It will be great to meet the new players as well as seeing some more familiar faces. I’m really looking forward to what will be another competitive and exciting year for this team.”

The Riders have also added exciting talent Louise Rouse – as confirmed by her former club Oaklands Wolves – whilst GB duo Holly Winterburn and Azania Stewart have both left to join London Lions.

Earlier on Friday, Sevenoaks Suns confirmed the returns of European duo Julia Koppl and Judit Fritz to add to their squad for the coming season. All WBBL signings in our roster tracker, HERE.

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.
