Leicester Riders basketball club can announce the re-signing of Jessica Eadsforth-Yates for the 2024-25 season. 

Eadsforth-Yates pens a new deal with the club to return for a third season, after signing a two-year deal in 2022. 

The Charnwood graduate originally signed from the Newcastle Eagles two years ago, where she spent her first professional season.

The deal includes her coaching at Loughborough University, where she will take the reins of Women’s BUCS 2s. 

The club would like to thank Loughborough University for their continued support.

Eadsforth-Yates said: “It feels great to be returning to Riders. I’m really excited to step into more of a leadership role this year, and I’m looking forward to gelling as a unit with some new talent (along with a few familiar faces), and seeing what we can achieve in the Super League.”

Head Coach Ben Stanley added: “We’re really happy to have Jess back for another year. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious both on and off the court.  

“When coupled with her knowledge of the League and her ability to contribute on both ends of the floor we expect a great year from her.”
