Melita Emanuel-Carr will make a long-awaited return from injury after signing for Oaklands Wolves for the remainder of the 2020-21 WBBL season.

The GB international was last in action with BA London Lions at the start of last season’s campaign before a lengthy absence ensued through injury.

“I am super excited to resume my basketball career with Oaklands Wolves, especially after my prolonged spell out through injury,” said Emanuel-Carr, via official release.

“The team have given me a warm welcome so far and I look forward to helping them win as many games as possible.”

Emanuel-Carr was part of England’s team that won silver at the Commonwealth Games in 2018, and has also played overseas after finishing her college career at UIC in 2017.

The 26-year-old brings a much needed boost to a Wolves squad that has suffered with injuries so far with summer signing Merisa Quick still on the sidelines, while Lizzy Harrison has also been out.

Oaklands are without a win in five league games so far, and reached the quarter-finals of the WBBL Trophy before an exit last weekend.

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.
