Leicester Riders are delighted to confirm that Jessica Eadsforth-Yates has been retained for the 2023/24 roster.
The Manchester-born guard signed a two-year deal last summer, joining from the Newcastle Eagles.
Eadsforth-Yates, a Charnwood graduate, averaged 7.7 points per game in the WBBL Championship for the Riders last year, putting up a season-high 25 points against the Oaklands Wolves.
The deal includes Jessica’s studies at Loughborough University, where she won the BUCS championship last season.
The club would like to thank Loughborough University for their support.
“I’m very happy to be back with Riders following an overall successful season for the team last year!” commented Eadsforth-Yates.
“I’m looking forward to getting to know Coach Stanley more and improving personal development, along with new team goals! I can’t wait to get back to work and start building towards what should be an exciting year for the team!”
“We’re really happy to have Jess back,” said Head Coach Ben Stanley.
“I’ve watched her for many years, and I know she’s passionate, team-oriented and ready to work. I’m looking forward to having her with us for another year.”
