WORCESTER Wolves have re-signed Callum Jones and Alex Zimnickas for the new season.

English guard Jones, who broke through into the first-team last campaign, and Lithuanian Zimnickas join David Watts in committing themselves to the British League team for the new term which begins in October.

Jones averaged six points and two assists in his first year at Wolves, but this was from limited court time as he generally only played back-up minutes coming off the bench.

Wolves director of basketball Paul James is now looking for an increased contribution from the 25-year-old guard.

He said: “Callum showed some good bursts of form when called upon.

“This year, now that he has completed his Masters degree at the University of Worcester, he will be able to concentrate totally on his game.

“Callum will get the opportunity of greater time on court and it will now be up to him to justify those minutes, as it is for every player on the team.”

Zimnickas comes back to the Wolves after a hard-working first year where he accumulated six points and three rebounds per game.

James is particularly pleased about the work ethic of the 6ft 8ins power forward.

“Alex is not afraid to get his hands dirty,” he said.

“He gives us size close to the basket and will graft for the team.”

James added: “The last few weeks have been pretty intense as I have considered the direction I want to take with this year’s side.

“We now have three players coming back. Others have been offered contracts, but now is the time for some hard decisions.”
