Central Club has officially completed the signing of British center Kavell Bigby-Williams as the replacement for Kenny Wooten, marking an important roster move as the team looks to stay competitive in the upcoming phase of the season.

Bigby-Williams, a 211 cm (6’11”) big man, is expected to arrive tomorrow after concluding his stint with the London Lions. He brings size, toughness, and valuable international experience, both at club and national team levels, adding immediate depth and presence to Central’s frontcourt.

From a performance standpoint, Bigby-Williams arrives in strong form. In the 2026 FIBA WASL – Gulf League with Sharjah SC, he averaged 13.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game, posting an impressive efficiency rating of 20.2. These numbers highlight his ability to control the glass, finish around the rim, and consistently impact games inside.

At national team level with Great Britain, Bigby-Williams has featured in major competitions such as EuroBasket and FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers, with senior team career averages of 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, in addition to a strong youth international background where he once averaged a double-double at U20 level.

The move follows Kenny Wooten’s departure after receiving an offer from outside the club, forcing Central to look for an immediate replacement. Wooten had been an important part of the rotation, and his exit leaves a gap that Central hopes Bigby-Williams can quickly fill.

With this signing, Central shows clear intent to stay competitive and balanced. Bigby-Williams’ rebounding, interior defense, and physical presence should translate well to the league, giving the team a reliable anchor in the paint as they move forward.
