Samuel Mamuni moves from Teesside Lions to Yorkshire Dragons

Samuel Mamuni has officially signed for BCB club Yorkshire Dragons, after playing for Teesside Lions in the tail end of the 25/26 season.. On the move Mamuni said: "I'm grateful to the Teesside Lions team for all their support while I was there. Before playing for the Lions I hadn't played for two and a half years due to ACL injuries. It was a grueling process to get back to full fitness and I'm thankful to the Lions for giving me the opportunity to play for a team again. The Yorkshire Dragons is an exciting new chapter for me and I can't wait to get started after the summer."

The Dragons described Mamuni as an 'exciting talent' and that they believe him to be a 'well-rounded player' who can 'fit' their brand of basketball and make a 'positive impact'. They also said Samuel's background of coming through the Newcastle Eagles youth teams as a 'key factor' in their interest in the guard.
