US forward Eric Terry joins Valletta BC

As they head into their second season in the BOV Division One, Valletta BC have signed another US import player, with Eric Terry joining the team for the coming campaign, Malta Basketball can confirm. 

The 6’8 forward joins the Capital club after a two-season stint in the French NM2 league Gennevilliers Basket during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. 

Terry who can play as both a forward and a centre will be a valid rotational partner with fellow new signing Piotr Stelmach who was a force in those same positions last season with Athleta.

The Texas native joins compatriot Lorenzo Anderson on the team led by coach Harry Savaya as the Capital club looks to be stacking up to meet the challenge of the top echelon of Maltese basketball after their experimental debut saw them struggling to keep up.

Last season, Valletta finished in the final spot of the standings after failing to win any games in the Division One regular season. They did put themselves in the winning charts once in all competitions last season when they beat Luxol in the John Tabone Shield back in October.

Over the summer, however, the team has expanded its operations with numerous signings that signal the willingness to put their name in the winning column this coming season.
