Familiar faces for the Worcester fans
In recent years, the Worcester fans have been treated to some fantastic individual players but they kept seeming to change each year.
With different coaches replacing each other every year, the fans couldn't relate to the rotating players each season.
This season, Matt Newby has stayed at the club and has brought back two new players for the Wolfpack and they are both definitely fan favourites.

Eyes on the Prize
As a player good enough to stretch the floor, Jordan Williams is an excellent signing for the Wolves this season and Matt Newby is pleased to have him back.
“I feel last season Jordan made a significant impact on the league and was a key component in our success. Arguably, he was one of the best interiors in the league and is a match up problem for most teams when he was playing at his peak."
"He has the ability to stretch the floor, is very well rounded in pick and roll and can get the ball on the floor and create from the perimeter; when you couple this with a well-rounded interior game which has both power and finesse as well as a strong passing game, then there is the makings of a next level big."
"He requires more consistency in several areas, but I feel that with the right application he can really go up a gear in terms of output this season."
Williams is ready and willing to put in all the effort to come back stronger and bring some more silverware back to Worcester.
“Last season we turned things around and with the guys we have this year some great things are on the way. I cannot wait to be back in the Arena to get started and to get back around the fans".
"Hopefully the Wolf Pack are well rested and are ready to make some noise this season.”
The highlight reel dunks and power plays return with the signing of Jordan Williams, all is to be revealed whether these can be applied to bring home the BBL Championship for the 2020/21 season.
