Manchester Basketball have got their roster-building underway this afternoon as they announced the acquisition of talented British guard Kayne Henry for the 2025/26 season.
The 26-year-old won Commonwealth Games Gold with Team England at the Birmingham 2022 Games and has spent most of his career so far in Germany having had a stellar collegiate career at Jacksonville State, playing 88 times for the NCAA Division I side, averaging 9.4 pts per game.
Last season he averaged 10.6 pts per game in the German ProA league in 19 games for ART Giants Düsseldorf.
“I feel ecstatic to finally be able to play back home,” reflected Kayne.”I can’t wait to get the ball rolling with Manchester and I just know I’ll be repping the city proud next season.”
Manchester Basketball Head of Operations Dominique Allen added:
“We are delighted to be able to bring British talent like Kayne back home to the SLB. His experiences playing in Germany will no doubt help us compete at both ends of the floor.
“He’s an exciting guard and we know that the Manchester fans are going to love him. It’s a statement signing for us of how we intend to do things.”
