Mackey joins the Riders for his rookie professional season following an impressive senior campaign with Florida International University, where he averaged 12.4 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.
The Georgia native, who holds a British passport, began his collegiate career at Georgia State before transferring to Houston Christian University. During the 2024/25 season with the Huskies, Mackey shared the court with fellow new Rider Trent Johnson, and the pair will now reunite in Leicester for the upcoming campaign.
A versatile, athletic three-level scorer, Mackey adds another exciting dimension to the Riders’ new-look backcourt. Comfortable shooting from range, attacking the basket and creating opportunities for himself and his teammates, the guard has demonstrated his scoring ability against some of the strongest competition in NCAA Division I.
One of his standout performances came against LSU, where Mackey came off the bench to score 24 points on 9-of-13 shooting, including three three-pointers.
