Who is Roderick Wellington?
Roderick Wellington is a British professional basketball player, and currently plays for the Leicester Riders in the British Basketball League.
The 6 ft 5in tall Forward was educated at Marjon College, based in Plymouth and it was here where he started his professional basketball career with the Plymouth Raiders in 2000, then a National Basketball League team, having previously played for lower league club Sutton Pumas.
After enjoying two very successful years with the Raiders, Roderick made the jump to the top-level British Basketball League with team mate Dean Williams, both of whom joined the Thames Valley Tigers in 2004, the same year that the Raiders also made the jump to the BBL. After one season with the Tigers, the club folded and through the efforts of local fans a new club was set up to replace them, the Guildford Heat, of which Rod was a part of the first roster of the new club.
At the beginning of the 2006-07 season, after failing to sort out a contract with the Heat, Wellington signed for English Basketball League team Worthing Thunder where he played for two months, before re-signing with the Heat in November 2006.
