Leicester Riders today announce the signing of Brooke Bigott for the 2024-25 season. 

The American wing signs from Dutch side Den Helder in the BNXT league. She averaged 21.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game in 24 appearances for the Suns, putting up a season-high 23 in March. 

Bigott’s season with the Den Helder Suns was her first in professional basketball, following her five year collegiate career with Appalachian State University. 

There, she started all 31 games in her graduate year, scoring 188 points on the year with an average 6.1 per game. Bigott was the Mountaineers’ top scorer in two games and was the top rebounder in seven. 

She ranked second on the team in three point makes, averaging 4 per game, and third on the team for rebounds. 

Bigott now signs in Leicester, ready to suit up in Riders red ahead of her second season as a pro. 

She will play for Leicester Riders and Loughborough University BUCS to accompany her studies. The Club would like to thank the University for their continued support. 

Head Coach Ben Stanley commented: “We’re really excited to be able to announce Brooke as part of our 2024-25 roster.

“She’s another great person that we’re adding to the group, and the value that she brings to the court will be huge, with her ability to both score and facilitate from the wing.

“It’s been an extended process to bring her to the team, and we’re glad that she’s now able to begin her studies at the University and be a factor on the court for us.”
