Leicester Riders are happy to confirm the retention of Victor Ndoukou ahead of the 2024-25 season. 

The 6’8″ forward signed his first professional contract with the Riders in January 2023 to accompany his studies at Loughborough University, committing him to Leicester for  4 and a half years, which will see him signed to the Club through to the end of the 2026-27 season.

Ndoukou is a product of Charnwood Academy. There, he won the 2021/22 EABL MVP award after averaging 11.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in NBL D1, shooting 46% from three that season.

He added another trophy to his cabinet last season with Loughborough Riders, winning the BUCS title after hitting back-to-back clutch threes late in the final. 

Ndoukou will suit up for another season at Loughborough while playing for the Riders. The Club would like to thank the University for its continued support. 

“I’m excited for another opportunity to play this season,” said Ndoukou. “I’m really looking forward to meeting all the guys and getting back to work!”

Head Coach Rob Paternostro commented: “Vic is a promising young player who continues to develop in our program. He has good size and skill and an excellent feel for the game.”
