Last season’s silver team Peli-Karhut has signed American Antoinette Thompson, who is a 34-year-old and 170-centimeter player, for the next season.
Antoinette Thompson played in the Swiss Premier League last season and scored 18.8 points per game.
– Thompson brings both experience and strength to the team. He can play both at the back and as a small winger. This gives us more opportunities to attack and enables a two-back game, which has been used before in PeKa, head coach Roope Mäkelä comment.
A few days earlier, the eagle club announced that they had acquired a 196-centimeter basket player who once graduated from Duke University by Jade Williams.
