Wolves sign Jamal Williams

Worcester’s Director of Basketball Paul James has been in talks with Kai Williams in recent weeks trying to negotiate a return with the forward.

While those talks have been ongoing, James has secured the services of his brother, former Mersey Tigers, Cheshire Phoenix and more recently Plymouth Raiders player Jamal Williams.

Explaining his decision to move to Worcester, Williams said: “I’m looking forward to the opportunity in Worcester. My brother had nothing but good things to say about Paul James and about the Wolves office. As a result it was any easy decision to make.”

Coach James clearly holds Williams in high regard saying: “Jamal is a really talented player, has plenty of experience of this league and more importantly has been a winner in the BBL. He has a blue-collar work ethic and will do whatever is asked of him to make the team better. Jamal is going to have an opportunity to show his full potential as a player within our programme and I’m very much looking forward to working with him.”

Asked about the chances of Kai joining Jamal on the Worcester hardwood next season James said: “I’d like to have Kai come back. He only played part of the season for us and will improve when getting deeper into our system. It’s great that Jamal is joining us and I certainly think that they would complement each other’s games.”
