A FORMER Great British Paralympian will take control of Worcester Wolves' women's wheelchair basketball programme.
Wolves have announced the appointment of former Great Britain star Clare Griffiths, to lead the British Wheelchair Basketball Women’s Premier League team into the 2026 season.
With a distinguished 18-year international playing career under her belt, Griffiths brings considerable experience to the role.
She has competed for her nation in five Paralympic Games and earned seven European Championship bronze medals.
She also played professionally abroad, making her one of the early British women to compete at that level, winning multiple championships domestically.

Griffiths, who has been a player for Wolves over the last 12 months, said: "I’m delighted to be stepping into this new role. Having spent many years competing at the highest level, I’m passionate about using that experience to support, develop, and empower the next generation of female wheelchair basketball players.
"This is an exciting opportunity to help nurture talent, build confidence, and contribute to the growth of the sport I love."
Worcester Wolves Managing Director April White added: "Being able to bring in a coach with the experience and knowledge that Clare has is a real benefit to our programme, players and wider basketball community.
"It is also great to have a female head coach join our on-court leadership team and help develop our players on and off the floor.
"We are all very excited to see Clare lead the team in what promises to be an exciting season ahead."
Griffiths will take charge of the team with immediate effect and has already began to work behind the scenes.
She will take charge of her first game on January 17, as Wolves open their season against the Mohawks at the University of Worcester Arena.
