Leicester Riders today announce the signing of Jada Holland for the 2025–26 Super League Basketball Women’s season.
Holland joins from NCAA Division I side Grand Canyon University (GCU), where she averaged 9.1 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game in her final season. A dynamic point guard known for her elite playmaking, defensive tenacity, and leadership, Holland brings high-level NCAA experience to the Riders’ backcourt.
As well as competing in the Super League Basketball Women’s competition, Holland will represent Loughborough Riders in BUCS, further strengthening the university side’s guard rotation.
A native of Pleasanton, California, Holland began her collegiate career at Grand Canyon University, where she was named WAC Freshman of the Year and Newcomer of the Year in 2019–20. She later transferred to San Jose State, leading the Mountain West in steals while earning All-Defensive Team honours, before returning to GCU to complete her final year of eligibility.
