Ebaks received also Eurobasket.com All-British EBL Division One Defensive Player of the Year award back in 2014.
Thunder player/coach Josh Goddard said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing back Jorge for another season. He played a central role in the team last year and proved he’s a veteran who can step up to whatever demands are placed upon him, as well as being a fan favourite. I’m looking forward to having Jorge back in practice and the added energy he’ll bring to the team.”
Ebanks will make his season debut against Team Newcastle on 27 October.
