Chester Jets have re-signed forward Ricardo Leonard for next season's Budweiser Basketball League. Keeping the player makes Chester contenders for honours in England.

Jets expect to announce that their guard Hilliary Scott will remain with the team, and the club are trying to re-sign the centre Billy Singleton, as well as rising England talent Matt Meakin.

Thames Valley have agreed terms with the centre Jason Siemon for the 1997-98 season. Siemon spent the first part of last year in Belgium before joining the Tigers late in the season.
