A young Lions guard.
Rookie guard. Limerick Lions all the way up. Number 3.
Fred Klimas is a promising young Irish guard, and 2025-26 was a fine first season in senior basketball. He has played for Ireland at three FIBA Youth EuroBasket tournaments, most recently the 2026 U18 EuroBasket in Croatia, where he averaged 9.6 points and 3.7 assists, and once top-scored with 20 in a national U16 schools cup final. For a guard this young, he played all year with real maturity.
He is an all-round guard. He can shoot it from outside, with the range to stretch a defence, and he can put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. One of his real strengths is his on-the-ball defence, which is excellent for his age, and he is comfortable under pressure.
2025-26 with the Eagles
His first senior season, and a good one to be part of: Cup, league and promotion to the Super League. Klimas took his chances when they came, including five off the bench in the 107–74 win over Malahide, and came away with a full year of national-league basketball behind him.
