Iraklis adds US‑UK forward Horchler

In late July 2026, Greek Basket League club Iraklis announced the signing of American‑British forward Noah Horchler (also reported as Noah Horcher) for the 2026‑27 season. The 2.03 m power forward, 28, holds dual U.S. and U.K. citizenship and has prior experience in Greece with Aris, Lavrio, Karditsa, and a season in the Basketball Champions League. Horchler also played in France’s Orleans Loiret Basket and Puerto Rico’s Santeros de Aguada, and he compiled solid collegiate numbers at Eastern Florida State, North Florida and Providence.

The club expects Horchler to strengthen its frontcourt for both domestic competition and European tournaments such as the FIBA Europe Cup. Horchler expressed enthusiasm about returning to Greece, describing the move as a “blessing” and noting that he feels increasingly Greek after meeting his partner in Karditsa. He highlighted the energetic atmosphere at the Ivanofeio arena and confidence that his skill set fits coach Zoran Lukic’s system.

Iraklis hopes the addition will boost its competitiveness in the league and continental play, relying on Horchler’s scoring, rebounding, and versatility to help the team achieve its objectives for the upcoming campaign.
