The Caledonia Gladiators continue to build for the 2025/25 Super League Basketball season as they confirm the return of Kyle Jimenez following his recent spell with Derby Trailblazers.
The 27-year-old from Edinburgh is well known to Caledonia fans for his integral role in helping the Gladiators win the British Basketball League Trophy in 2023, one of the most memorable moments in the club’s history.
His experience in big-game situations and proven ability to perform under pressure will once again be an asset as the team chases success under Head Coach Jonny Bunyan.
Jimenez’ basketball journey has also seen him play for the Nottingham Hoods and Derby Trailblazers, gaining valuable experiences across different levels of the British game.
On the international stage, he has proudly represented Team Scotland at the Commonwealth Games twice – at the 2018 Gold Coast Games in Australia and the 2022 Birmingham Games – showcasing his skills against some of the sport’s top competition.
His return will be welcome news to fans as a player who understands the club’s culture and the expectations of competing at the highest level. His combination of court vision, shooting ability and defensive awareness will be key as the team pushes for success in the upcoming season.
Gladiators Head Coach Jonny Bunyan discussed the 27-year-old guard’s return, saying:
“We’re all delighted to have Kyle back on the team. It’s always been special to have Scottish players representing our club, especially when they can stop on the court and impact games.
“Kyle brings incredible energy to the team and we’re excited to see him back in a Gladiators jersey this season.”
