It is a landmark day in the history of Cheshire Phoenix basketball club.

The British Basketball League side will today unveil former NBA star Julius Hodge as their latest signing.

Hodge, who had spells at the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks and was a first-round pick in the 2005 draft, made his debut for the Phoenix in Sunday's 89-86 success at Glasgow Rocks but has yet to face the media.
