Hawks Land Veteran Centre Fullah
The West Yorkshire Hawks have made a big move ahead of the new season, announcing the signing of veteran centre Allie Fullah. Standing 6’8″, Fullah brings a wealth of experience and a proven track record at the elite level, having played in the British Basketball League (BBL) for multiple clubs and professionally in France.
Fullah’s Impact on the Hawks’ Frontcourt
Allie Fullah’s arrival is a significant addition to the Hawks’ frontcourt. Known for his ability to dominate the paint, Fullah is expected to be a game-changer on both ends of the floor. His experience in the BBL has molded him into a well-rounded player who excels in protecting the rim and anchoring the defense.
Fullah’s Excitement to Join the Hawks
Expressing his excitement about joining the Hawks, Fullah said, “I am looking forward to playing alongside guys I have known for a long time, and I am excited to represent the area that I live in. I am honoured and grateful to be a part of the organisation, and hopefully, we can put together a good season for the fans.”
Fullah’s connection to the area and his enthusiasm for representing his community will undoubtedly resonate with the fans.
Coach Byrne’s Take on the Signing
Hawks head coach Danny Byrne was equally enthusiastic about the addition of Fullah, stating, “I am really looking forward to working with Allie again. He offers us something different within this roster. He is a true big man who can crash the boards hard and protect the rim. Combining that size and ability with his high level experience will bring us something different this season”.
Byrne’s endorsement speaks volumes about the high expectations placed on Fullah and the impact he is expected to have on the team. With his extensive experience, Fullah is set to become a cornerstone of the Hawks’ roster as they gear up for the new season.
What This Means for the Hawks Moving Forward
Fullah will begin preseason training with his new teammates this week, and the first preseason game is slated for this Saturday.
As the regular season approaches, with fixtures expected to be announced later this week, the Hawks are poised to make some noise. With a solid mix of seasoned veterans and emerging talents, they have the potential to be one of the most exciting teams to watch.
All eyes will be on the Hawks as they integrate their new star centre into the lineup, but one thing is clear—West Yorkshire needs to be ready for a thrilling season of basketball.
