Richards will fulfil a community role alongside his playing duties.

Worthing Thunder have made their third signing ahead of the coming BBL season by snapping up American forward-cum-centre Kadiri Richard.

The 29-year-old, who stands 6ft 8in, arrives in Sussex after spells in America for the Halifax Rainmen and the Wilmington Sea Dawgs.

Operations director Alan Sweetman-Hicks said: "Kadiri is a tremendously athletic individual.

"I am sure he will be popular with our supporters."

Sweetman-Hicks added: "As well as his on-court role, he has also been happy dealing with the community involvement of being a professional basketball player, so he will be useful to us there too. I hope he will enjoy his time in the UK."
