Overview
- The London Lions confirmed his exit in a tribute posted Sunday, praising his leadership and saying he helped shine a brighter spotlight on British basketball.
- Soko has been with the London Lions since 2019 and is reported to be 35 years old, marking a multi-year spell as a pro-player and public figure.
- Since leaving Love Island in 2019 he has built a media profile through TV shows, a BBC one-off documentary and recent modelling and design work.
- In a Twitch stream earlier this year he said he was "in a good situation" and joked about "a wife," comments that have fuelled public interest in his private life.
- Past TV moments include a Celebrity SAS episode that left co-contestant Chris Robshaw injured, and the move away from basketball could mean Soko focuses full time on media and creative ventures.
