The MK Breakers are pleased to announce American guard Dante Langley as the club’s first international player.
Langley, who hails from Schuylerville, New York is familiar with the United Kingdom having played at Durham University in the North East last season, whilst earning his Master’s Degree in Business Management. Langley led Durham University in scoring as the team finished runners up in the British Universities & Colleges Sport Championships.

For his career, Langley amassed 1094 points for an average of 11.8 points per game.
Langley, who has secured a job at Mercedes Benz in Milton Keynes added “I’m very grateful for the opportunity to play for the MK Breakers this year and be a part of a program with such a good foundation and community. I’m going to make the most of this opportunity and we have an exciting season ahead.”
“We are delighted to have a player of Dante’s ability to play for the Breakers this season. Having seen how he performed for Durham last season, I have seen first-hand the quality he possesses and I’m excited to see the impact he has on our team this season.”
