Lightning Sign Kirk Williams Jr.
Thursday, July 12, 2018 (LONDON, Ontario) – The London Lightning are pleased to announce that we have signed forward Kirk Williams Jr. for the 2018-2019 NBL Canada Season. Williams brought experience and veteran leadership to the Lightning last season and was absolutely crucial in the 2017-2018 championship run.
“I’m very excited to be back in London to make a run at NBL history with the first ever 3-Peat, and play in front of the best fans in the league!” – Kirk Williams Jr.
“I am really excited to have Kirk back this season. I have coached him the previous 2 seasons. He is a real winner and that was clearly seen in the 2017-2018 NBL Finals. At 6’7” with cat-like quickness on the defensive end anchored with his experience in this league makes him a real asset. ”- Head Coach Keith Vassell
