Loughborough Riders Division 1 Women can confirm the hiring of Nick Moodey as Head Coach ahead of the 2024-25 season. 

Moodey has acted as Assistant Coach of Leicester Riders women’s for the previous four seasons, winning the WBBL Trophy and WBBL Cup as a part of the Club’s coaching staff. He has also served as Head of Girls Academy at Charnwood College in the Women’s EABL since 2022, winning WEABL North in 2023-24.

His association with Loughborough basketball dates back to 2018, where he began coaching for BUCS Women’s 3s for three seasons. 

His tenure with the Riders organisation over six seasons has seen Moodey contribute immensely to the development of youth basketball at both the University and the College, while serving as a key asset in professional basketball with Riders women. 

He now takes the role of Head Coach of Loughborough women’s in the NBL D1 for the second time, after serving in the role prior to Oli Parr.

Moodey commented: “I’m really excited to get started with the group we have this year, it’s a good mix of returning players and some new faces and I’m looking forward to getting everyone in for pre-season. 

“I want to continue to build on the last couple of seasons that the team has had and I’m hoping that this year we can take it a step further.”
