The Eagles joined the English Basketball League in 2014, and rapidly ascended through the Divisions 3 and 4, achieving back-to-back promotions.
However, upon reaching Division 2, the club were forced to move their home games 25 miles away to Scunthorpe due to the unsuitably of their home venue to host Division 2 games.
[1] The team struggled with the move, losing the positive momentum built up over the last couple of years, finishing 11th in their inaugural Division 2 season and facing relegation back to Division 3.
[2][3] As of the 2021-22 season, the Eagles have competed in the NBL Division 2's North conference, finishing third-place at the end of the season, with the Eagles' own Robert Marsden being awarded 'Player of the Year' in Division 2 North.
Former Eagles players Matthew Martin and Oliver Hylands have both played in the top-tier British Basketball League in recent years, for Sheffield and Leeds respectively.
