FORMER Leicester Riders star Pavol Losonsky is the new Worcester Wolves captain.

Losonsky will be heading to his former club along with ex-Leicester star Jay Couisnard when Wolves face Riders tonight in the British Basketball League (7.30pm).

Wolves met Bristol Flyers last night at the University of Worcester Arena after overcoming nerves to see off Glasgow Rocks 80-69 in their opening match.

Wolves head coach Paul James believes he won’t have too many problems motivating Losonsky and Couisnard for the trip to Leicester.

“Leicester is a tough place to go and win,” said James.

“Riders have kept the nucleus of their team together from last season and are aggressive and well coached.

“It’s one of those games where we will see where we are in the scheme of things.

It’s going to be a test and I’m looking forward to it.”

James added: “I don’t think I will have any problems getting Pavol or Jay and motivated for the game.

“I am sure they are looking forward to going back there and showing the Leicester coach what they’ve lost.”
