Newcastle Eagles have parted company with experienced American Terrell Vinson.
The 31-year-old joined the club in August and has been an ever-present during this season’s BBL Cup campaign.
However, Vinson played his last game in a Newcastle vest on Friday as he signed off with 19 points and nine rebounds against Manchester Giants.
“I’d like to thank Terrell for his efforts up to this point,” said Eagles’ head coach Ian MacLeod.
“He is an experienced professional but we felt we needed to make a change to give a different dynamic to the team.
“I wish Terrell nothing but the best of luck for his future endeavours.”
Vinson played for Glasgow during the 2019/20 season and had spells across Europe before helping the Rocks reach the BBL Championship summit in 2020.

Not entirely surprising - Vinson has looked a few feet off the pace since joining and with Eagles failing to qualify from the Cup qualifying rounds I’m not surprised that they have decided to make a change. The key will be whether they have identified and recruited an upgrade to replace him. And whether they can get Fletch fit soon.

Vinson was a quality acquisition in glasgow and some even said one of the better imports in the league that season. Looked completely lost in the eagles offence and looked a bit out of place not a good situation for either but as rocks have done they've made a change and will be interesting to see how eagles do in the regular season

I hope we've got a good replacement lined up. Is MBA out of work at the minute 🤔😂 I'd probably cut Peirson too to be hobest, he's a good scorer but he doesn't defend, isn't a natural 2 and its a terrible match up with Fletch in the back court. |

Deffo need a big upgrade on Vinson, regarding person the jury is out but nobody was going to replace Cortez edwards easily |
