History
editThe club were founded in 2003 by Leicester-born ex-England and Georgia Tech basketball player Karl Brown, with an emphasis on running community based programmes addressing social issues as well as encouraging participation in basketball.
The club won promotion to EBL Division Two after their first season, and spent the following years consolidating their position in the division.[1] The Warriors claimed their first major trophy on 4 March 2007, when they won the Patrons Cup, beating the Bristol Flyers 61–55 in the final at the Newcastle Arena, and seeing former Leicester Riders player Drew Barrett named MVP. The 2008–09 season also saw another leap forward for the Warriors, claiming third place in the league and winning promotion to Division One for the following season, where the team has competed ever since.[2]
In September 2015, the club confirmed that 2001-born Kareem Queeley had signed a 2-year contract with basketball powerhouse Real Madrid.[3]
