Louise Rouse has signed for the Leicester Riders ahead of the 2021-22 WBBL Season.

Rouse makes the switch to the East Midlands after two seasons with the Oaklands Wolves where the 19 year old became a mainstay of their side.

Last year in WBBL Championship action she averaged 8.2 points per game & 5.7 rebounds per game in nearly 25 minutes of action.

“I’m very excited to be joining the Riders this season.,” said Rouse. “I’ll have a great opportunity to develop my game at a top basketball program whilst also studying at a great university.

“I hope to bring enthusiasm and drive to the team and a willingness to learn and improve every day.”

Coach Washington is equally excited to add Rouse to his roster, adding, “We are very lucky to have a young exciting British player like Louise on our squad for the upcoming season.

“Louise has made great strides in her progress over the last couple of seasons and we aim to help her continue this at the Riders.”
