Manchester Basketball have confirmed the signing of British guard Harriet Swindells for the 2025/26 Super League Basketball season.
Blackburn-born Swindells spent last season playing in Germany with Eintracht Braunschweig having graduated college from Barry University in the sunshine state the previous summer.
Manchester Basketball Head of Operations Dominique Allen said:
“We are excited to be able to bring Harriett home. She’s a player we are very familiar with given her North-West roots. Harriet will be a great addition to the roster.”
Reflecting on her return to the north-west, Swindells said:
“I grew up playing in Manchester, so returning after 10 years of being away is really exciting and I just can’t wait to get back on the court.”
Swindells averaged 10.6 points per game across 122 appearances in five years for Barry University with a career best of 29 points coming in the 2019/20 campaign, in which she averaged 15.3 points.
The sharpshooting guard previously came through the Leicester Riders programme – earning MVP honours in the 2016/17 WEABL season, alongside minutes for the Riders in the professional programme.
