ONE TO WATCH
#8 Jamell Anderson - Anderson re-joined the Riders ahead of the 2019/20 season. The Nottingham native has impressed over the past few seasons, with representation of both Great Britain and England at the Commonwealth Games gaining valuable experience on the international stage.
Nottingham-born Anderson first joined the Riders in 2011 when he attracted the attention of Coach Paternostro which enabled him to both play for the Riders and study at Loughborough University. During his time at Loughborough, Anderson captained the team to an unbeaten promotion campaign in 2011.
