Ahead of their summer journey to the FIBA Europe Cup qualifiers, Starlites announced their first signing of the summer when they named American guard Trevon Reddish-Rhone to their squad on Monday.
“We are excited to welcome Trevon Reddish-Rhone to the Starlites family,” a club statement read.
“The 23-year-old American joins us from Presbyterian College in South Carolina and will surely be an important addition to our VisitMalta Starlites Naxxar Senior Men squad for the upcoming season.”
The Georgia native joins the Malta champions as a replacement for captain Alec Felice Pace who departed the club early this summer ahead of a move to Germany, and brings with him National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) experience after his time at South Carolina’s Presbyterian College.
“I’m most excited to help this winning program in any way I can and add more championships to the collection,” the new recruit told Starlites’ socials.
“I’m also excited to build great connections and relationships with my teammates, staff and the incredible Starlites fan base!”
The 6’4 guard moves to Malta after his time in the NCAA Division One where he started every one of the 33 games he played at Presbyterian College last season. Reddish-Rhone averaged 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists throughout the past campaign.
This move for Reddish-Rhone brings to the club a guard after many years of signings being mainly forwards and is surely going to be a boost for the side that is looking to make a name for itself overseas after a magical season which saw them win every domestic trophy available.
Expectedly, the new import player is just one of a number of players Starlites are set to bring over to the club in preparation for a gigantic step in September.
