Rose, James set to join training squad

Junior Hercules

Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) men’s head-coach Junior Hercules, has confirmed that experienced player Delroy James will arrive on local shores on March 31st and captain Stanton Rose will participate in his first training session on Saturday.

This was divulged during a brief interview with Stabroek Sport yesterday. According to Hercules, James, whose scheduled arrival was made possible by Nigel Hinds Financial Services, will arrive to form part of the training session alongside Rose.

He declared, “Delroy James is booked to arrive on the 31st of March. He is for certain. I am excited to have a player of this calibre, who would have played in the USA, Europe and South America and is very much active. He brings with him a wealth of experience that the players, coaching staff and the country will be able to benefit from. He will also bear a heavy offensive responsibility given his quality. We are expected to be in the other country on April 12th, which means we will have access to James for about two weeks.”
