Great Britain captain Drew Sullivan is to return to the Leicester Riders for the 2015/16 BBL season.
Sullivan is back with the Riders having previously helped the club enjoy the most successful years in their history, including four pieces of silverware, in his first three seasons in Leicester.
The two-time BBL MVP and four-time BBL play-off champion returns to Leicester following a single season with London Lions in which he averaged 14.8 points per game, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game.
Head coach Rob Paternostro is looking forward to working with Sullivan once again and excited for what he brings to the team.
He said: "Drew is a player that we know very well and was a tremendous player for us. He was someone that was a part of some of the most successful moments in our club's history and we're delighted to bring him back.
"He is as versatile a player as they come. He is a player that has demonstrated he can play any spot on the offensive and defensive end which will be very useful for our team.
"Drew has as strong a competitive hunger as anyone I know, he is really looking forward to playing with the group that we have returning next season."
