MAPFRE MSV Life Women’s League runners-up and Knockout winners Depiro announced their first signing of the summer when they confirmed American forward Jensen Caretti.
In a club statement on Thursday, the club welcomed the former Ohio State player.
“We’re delighted to welcome Jensen Caretti to our Senior Women’s Team!” The statement read.
“A graduate of Ohio State University in the USA, Jensen had an outstanding season last year, winning both MVP and Player of the Year in Division One Basketball Ireland. She also played for iSecure Swords Thunder and finished second in scoring across all competitions. Welcome to Depiro, Jensen!”
The 6’2 Ohio native was last plying her trade in Ireland with Swords Basketball where she won the Division One Player of the Year award. She completed the season with a 22.4 points-per-game average and 9.9 rebounds per contest. Her Swords club celebrated the league title in April as Caretti was named Most Valuable Player.
Now she joins a Depiro side led by new coach Julian Naudi who will be looking to maintain last season’s solid showing which led to them finishing as the top seed at the end of the regular season. More importantly, the club will also be defending its title as Knockout champions after they beat Caffe Moak Luxol in the final in March.
