Manchester Basketball can confirm the signing of British guard Harriet Swindells for the 2025-26 roster.

Blackburn-born Swindells spent last season playing in Germany with Eintracht Braunschweig having graduated college from Barry University in the sunshine state.

"We are excited to be able to bring Harriett home," commented Dominique Allen.

"She's a player we are very familiar with given her North-West roots. Harriet will be a great addition to the roster."

Harriet reflected on the move: "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 in the then WBBL.
