Manchester Basketball's Matt Pitkin has been named as the Great Britain U18 Head Coach as the side compete in FIBA U18 Eurobasket in Romania later this summer.

"It’s a huge honour to represent my country and I would like to thank Manchester Basketball for their continued support," reflected Matt.

"I’m very motivated to start working with this group of players; with the aim of building and developing a team who can impose our strengths and a ‘GB game style’ in the U18 Eurobasket tournament."

"I’m looking forward to leading and sharing my experiences with this next generation; giving them the best opportunity to be successful this summer, but also in their future basketball careers."

Great Britain, who play in division B, will face Ireland, Iceland, Poland and Bosnia & Herzegovina, in the group stage.
