A former Paralympian has been appointed head coach of a wheelchair basketball team.
Clare Griffiths, who represented Great Britain in five Paralympic Games, will lead the Worcester Wolves' Women’s Premier League (WPL) team into the 2026 season.
She brings 18 years of international playing experience, including seven European Championship bronze medals, and was one of the early British women to play professionally overseas.
Ms Griffiths 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."
In addition to her sporting achievements, Ms Griffiths holds a degree in sport and exercise science and has worked in management consultancy and leadership roles.
She has been part of the Worcester Wolves as a player for the past year and takes over as head coach with immediate effect.
April White, managing director of the Worcester Wolves, said: "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."
Her first game as head coach will be on January 17, 2026, when the Wolves open the season against the Mohawks at the University of Worcester Arena.
Worcester Wolves said further player announcements will be made in the coming weeks.
