The Nottingham Hoods are thrilled to announce the signing of American guard Donell Nixon II ahead of the upcoming British Championship Basketball season. Known for his shooting ability from range and his court vision, Nixon adds both firepower and experience to the Hoods.

Hailing from Georgia, United States, Nixon has built a reputation as a dynamic playmaker with the ability to control the tempo of the game. His college career at Wingate University saw him excel in high-pressure moments, and his recent professional stint in Spain has showcased his versatility, leadership, and commitment to winning.

Nixon brings not just scoring and passing, but also a defensive tenacity that will energise the Hoods Family. Fans can expect him to push the pace, create scoring opportunities, and bring an infectious competitiveness to every possession.

Nixon described his playing style as:

“Unpredictable, you never know if I’m going to get a lot of 3’s, assists, or steals. I really do whatever is needed for the team.”

“I want to be part of the basketball journey that Nottingham has been on in recent years. I’ve heard amazing things about the fans here, and I can’t wait to play in front of them. My goal is to help this team compete at the highest level and win games.”

The Nottingham Hoods’ season tips off on 21st of September against the Bristol Flyers in the BCB Trophy, and supporters will have their first chance to see Nixon in action on home court.
