Ashley Hamilton believes he can be the glue that binds the all-new London City Royals together.
The forward, who is expected to miss the start of the BBL campaign, is one of several leading Brits attracted to the start-up franchise based in south London.
Junior Williams’ side – including trial lists Kyle Carey and Mac Grayson, have headed overseas for pre-season – and beat Partizan Belgrade’s second stringers 84-61 in a midweek friendly to record the club’s first-ever victory.
But Hamilton is confident his return from his spending last term in Spain will be rewarding.
“I started playing at Crystal Palace when I was young, when I was 16 – to get the chance to come back 12 years later, at home in London in front of my friends and family, well, itâ€
s going to be a good year,†he said.
“Iâ€
m an energetic player. Iâ€
m 29 now so Iâ€
m experienced, my IQ is up as well as my skill level, Iâ€
m a leader, Iâ€
m an aggressive defender – whatever the team calls for Iâ€
m out here to win.
“We have a great collection of players so far, thereâ€
s going to be more coming in, I just need to be that glue so we can take it to the next level.â€
