Name: Jay
Marriott Local boy Jay Marriott signed with the Raiders at the start of this season. Following Marriott’s highly successful return to Plymouth last season to play with Raiders 2, it’s a move that was widely expected this past summer. The 6’5” Marriott left Plymouth in 2002 to attend Monterrey Peninsula Junior College in California. From there, he moved to Hungary and then on to the Birmingham Bullets in 2004 where he played 30 games, a number of these against Raiders. The following season, Marriott moved to Ireland to play in the Superleague for Team Merry Monk Balina. While playing for Balina, Jay played against another new face to the Raiders – Matt Hilleary. Jay has said a number of times that he’s glad that he now can play WITH Hilleary, rather than AGAINST him! A year then playing for Cosehisa Monzon in Spain’s EBA League was followed by another spell in the Irish league with Neptune Cork, before returning to Plymouth last November. Towards the end of the 2008/09 season, Marriott made his debut for Plymouth in the BBL and it’s an appearance that he is keen to build on this year. Whilst playing with Raiders 2 in Division 2 last year, Marriott trained several times a week with the Raiders BBL team and impressed Coach Gary Stronach with his effort and abilities. |
