Kalil fits the bill for Wolves

Worcester Wolves have secured the services of the impressive Kalil Irving for the 2013/14 season.

Irving came in to the side last season having arrived at the University of Worcester to study, and he impressed from the off.

Director of Basketball at Wolves, Paul James, handed the talented youngster a regular place on the roster after seeing his potential early on, and before the autumn was out Irving had commanded a place in the Worcester starting five.

Kalil was awarded the accolade of  Wolves’ Most Exciting Player for 2012-13, and after last weeks announcement of the return of Alex Owumi, Worcester fans can see that a bright future for next season is beginning to emerge.

Coach James commented on Kalil’s first season with the Wolves: “Kalil came over to us having played with Medway Crusaders at a level beneath the BBL. He immediately showed me that he can handle himself at a higher level. His ability and hard work has earned him minutes with the Wolves and the opportunity to represent his country.”

On securing his services for the future James added: “If Kalil carries on with his dedication and hard work then he can have a great future in the game. We will support him in achieving his goals and I know he will want to show everyone just what he can produce.”
