In July 2020, the Wolves organisation merged with National Basketball League Division 1 side Essex & Herts Leopards, competing from the 2020-21 NBL D1 season as the Oaklands Wolves. The Wolves were in partnership with the Leopards from the 2018-19 season, providing opportunities for academy players to train and play with the team, as well as a home venue for training and matches.[3][4]

The foundations of the whole Wolves programme are based around an elite-level academy formed at Oaklands College in 2009.[5] Oaklands compete in both the EABL and WEABL, the premier under-19s basketball competitions in the United Kingdom.[6]
