After a long summer of negotiations, the American who is a fan favourite will once again link up with player/coach Sterling Davis for their fourth year together in Glasgow.
Davis is relieved to have secured the services of his influential captain and hopes that Rob's experience and passion can help inspire potential young new recruits.
"Rob is a leader on the floor and I'm just glad to have him signed and have
all the speculation over with. Rob is, in my opinion, the best point guard in the league and has always been a priority for me in building the team for next season. I want to win and Rob can help us do that."
"We are looking to add some young new talent this year. Guys like that will need
Robs leadership to help them adapt to the British game and way of life here in
Glasgow. I am looking forward to having Rob here and getting started."
A veteran of the BBL, Yanders has spent the past 4 seasons with the Rocks, reaching
the finals of the BBL playoffs with them on two occasions.
This past season (2008/09), the American point guard led the Rocks and the league in
minutes played and assists (avg.7.5 per game) while pouring in a massive 656 points
(avg.19.8 per game)
Yanders will return to Scotland in the next few weeks to begin preparations for the upcoming season.
