ASHTON Khan has become the fourth new face to join British Basketball League club Worcester Wolves this summer.

The 6ft 1ins guard, 24, is a graduate of Tiffin University in the USA and holds both Canadian and British passports.

Khan, who joins Javier Mugica, Malik Smith, Perris Blackwell and the retained Disraeli Lufadeju on next season’s roster, said: “I'm incredibly excited to join Worcester Wolves and I'd like to thank the organisation and coach Paul James for bringing me in.

“I am aware of the success the club have been able to have in the BBL and I believe I can continue the winning tradition on the court. I can't wait to get to work.

"I believe my ability to distribute and score the ball at a high level will translate into wins on the court and silverware for our team.

“My father is from Great Britain so this was a terrific opportunity for me to return to my parents’ home country and be able to play in the top basketball league in the United Kingdom.”

While at Tiffin University in Ohio, Khan, who hails from Toronto, averaged 12 points, four rebounds and four assists per game and also shot a high percentage from both two and three-point range.

Worcester head coach James said: “Khan is another exciting player we have added to the Wolves roster this summer. He can create his own shot but will work well within the team concept we have.

“He is a tough defender with quick hands and I know he is going to be a really good addition to the team.”
