he Nottingham Hoods are thrilled to announce the re-signing of fan-favourite guard Thierry Walker for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

Walker returns to the Hoods following a strong second half of the 2024/25 campaign, where he stepped into the starting lineup and brought energy, versatility, and leadership to the squad. Known for his relentless hustle, defensive tenacity, and ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor, Walker has quickly become a key part of the Hoods’ identity.

“We’re thrilled to have Thierry back with the Hoods for another season,” said Head Coach Valdan Dragosavac. “His impact last year was clear on both ends of the floor — as a starter and defensive anchor, he consistently gave us a competitive edge with his relentless on-ball pressure and discipline. Thierry’s professionalism and approach to his work align perfectly with the standards we’re setting as a club. He embodies the kind of environment we’re building at the Hoods — one where players and coaches want to be, grow, and contribute. We’re excited to have him with us as we continue moving forward.”

Walker also shared his excitement about rejoining the team:

“I’m very excited to come back another year and I’m blessed for another opportunity to represent my hometown again. There are some really exciting things happening with the club and I’m ready to get to work to help bring success to the team.”

Having played a pivotal role in several key wins last season, Walker’s return adds valuable depth to a team focused on climbing higher in the league standings. His strong connection with the fans and commitment to the club’s community values make him a standout both on and off the court.

The Nottingham Hoods begin their preseason preparations in August, with fixtures and season ticket information to be released soon.
