Manchester Basketball have signed British guard Kayne Henry for his first professional season on home soil.

The Commonwealth Games gold medalist has spent most of his career in Germany after attending Jacksonville State for college.

Last season he averaged 10.6 pts per game in the German Pro-A across 19 games for ART Giants Düsseldorf.

“I feel ecstatic to finally be able to play back home,” reflected Kayne, who is currently playing in the Hoopsfix Pro-Am every Sunday at Brixton Rec for Hoopspace.

“I can’t wait to get the ball rolling with Manchester and I just know I’ll be repping the city proud next season.”

Kayne was a part of Team England’s 3×3 team to win the country’s first ever gold medal in basketball at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

“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,” reflected Dominique Allen.

“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.”
