Surrey Scorchers are delighted to announce the signing of British Guard Luke Busumbru
Joining Jalen Ray in the backcourt Head Coach Lloyd Gardner gives the nod to Busumbru after a successful division 1 career with Solent Kestrels.

Prior to his accomplishments in Southampton, Busumbru spent his youth career in Kent at the North school before heading to the prestigious Montverde Academy in the states.
Ready to make the jump to BBL Busumbru commented “I am really excited to be joining the scorchers program. I had an amazing experience with Solent for the past 3 years, and now feel like I’m ready to make that next step.
I Got to work with Lloyd a little bit over the summer at the Hoopsfix Pro-Am and I can’t wait to get started and meet the guys on the team”.
Head Coach Gardner pleased with this signing commented “I’m delighted to be adding Luke to the roster. He is a player that has deserved the opportunity of moving into the BBL after a stellar few seasons in NBL division one with Solent.
I love the energy he brings to the teams he plays on and feel he will be valuable addition to a successful season”.
