“I am excited to be apart of the Cheshire Phoenix this coming season. Thank you to Coach Ben and the club for reaching out to me and I can’t wait to get to work in the BBL.”

“Signing Tahjai has been really important for the team. He brings a lot of offensive creativity to our front court but a great defensive presence at the same time. He is versatile and can play as a power forward or an undersized centre when needed. I know he’s a competitor who wants to play and I’m really looking forward to working with him.”
