HONEY BADGERS, HIGH-FLYER TAJH GREEN AGREE TO OFFICIAL CONTRACT
The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Friday that four-year pro Tajh Green has agreed to a contract for the 2026 season.
The 6’8” South Carolina native will join the Honey Badgers for his first professional campaign in Canada. Green has already made his mark in several European countries including Bulgaria most recently, as well as Kosovo, Germany, and England.
“Tajh’s motor, athleticism, and versatility on both ends of the floor will be a valuable addition to our rotation,” said Honey Badgers General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Jermaine Anderson. “His character, combined with his professional experience will have a positive impact on our young players and our team as a whole. We’re excited to welcome him to the Honey Badgers family.”
For his career, Green has averaged 14.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 29.2 minutes across 157 professional games. He has put up career-highs of 35 points, 17 rebounds, and seven three-pointers made. He has also recorded a triple-double while playing with Manchester in England in 2023, logging 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 10 assists.
He has collected many achievements through his career thus far, including All-British First Team in 2023 with Manchester, five-time British BBL Player of the week from 2023 - 2024, and Kosovan League Player of the Week in 2025.
“Tajh Green is the type of player every winning program needs - tough, competitive, and completely bought into doing whatever it takes to win,” said Honey Badgers Head Coach Alex Cerda. “He brings a relentless motor on both ends, plays with an edge, and elevates the guys around him. We’re excited about the impact he’s going to make on our culture and on the floor from day one.”
Green had a six-year collegiate career with Benedict College and Spartanburg Methodist College (SMC). After two years at SMC, he transferred but had to sit out a season due to the NCAA’s transfer rules which are no longer in place. He thrived during his three seasons at Benedict, averaging 14.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. In his senior year he won the SIAC Player of the Year award while leading his team to an SIAC Tournament finale appearance.
The Brampton Honey Badgers will begin their season with two home games on Friday, May 15 and Sunday, May 17 versus the Ottawa BlackJacks and Calgary Surge, respectively. Click
