Along with recent announcements about new arrivals Derrick Pope, Matt Donaldson and Karim Houari, Coventry Crusaders have added one more to the list of new recruits - 6' 8" Frenchman Pierre Bonneau.

Twenty-eight year old Bonneau will add to the strength and height inside the key area. He is a strong role player who has experience at National One level in France, which is the highest level of basketball in that country.

With his added height, he will give the Crusaders that additional edge which always gives the offense an advantage.

Pierre comes highly recommended as a hard worker with a great love and passion for the game, and will add to the formidable line-up which the Crusaders are forming over the summer.

He will be working with the Crusader Foundation, as a development coach teaching basketball in school and in the community.

Pierre will be coming to Coventry in time to start training with the team in August.

Dip Donaldson who is the owner and of the Coventry based basketball club says:

"I am anticipating a successful season, and am doing all I can in order for that to come about, by combining a very strong side. Pierre will be aiding to our success with their contributions and that will help in our campaign to finish back at the top of the league again this year.

"I am really excited about the potential the Crusaders team has for the 1999-2000 season. It will be a great show all the way!"
