Brown adjusts roster

Leicester Riders Coach Karl Brown has adjusted his roster ahead of the weekend's action. Brown has added centre Steve McGlothin and guard Sammy Salter on a week-to-week basis, whilst Dave Keeley has been released from the roster.

5'11 Salter will bring some valuable experience to the Riders guard department having enjoyed previous spells in the UK with Birmingham Bullets, London Towers and Worthing Bears. For 6'9" Steve McGlothin it is a return to the club which he represented during the 2000/01 season.

Riders Coach Karl Brown is hoping that in both McGlothin and Salter he will have found the missing key to the Riders shortcomings to date. He said of his new signings "Steve will give us some experience inside and should help us both offensively and on the boards. Sammy's been around the league for a few years and he's not scared to shoot the ball. These two guys will give us a bit more strength in depth and I think we need that."

Riders are action twice this weekend, taking on the Scottish Phoenix Honda Record Rocks on Saturday at the John Sandford Centre (7.30pm) and the Birmingham Bullets on the road on Sunday.
