The interior area of Casademont Zaragoza had three players, waiting for Astou Ndour to arrive in January in the Aragonese capital, to cover that gap the club has announced the signing of Kristine Vitola. The Latvian center signs for one season and her contract includes a unilateral termination clause enforceable in January 2027.
The 35-year-old ‘five’ is that piece thatbrings experience at the expense of Ndour joining the squad and will be the one that provides rotation in a position in which Nerea Hermosa and Merritt Hempe are already there. Although the Norman center is also playing as a power forward and will allow Cantero to better manage his players.
«Vitola stands out for his ability to play near the hoop, his tactical intelligence, his presence on the rebound and his ability to open spaces thanks to his good outside shot, qualities that allow him to adapt to different offensive and defensive registers,» the club highlights in its statement.
VITOLA ALREADY KNOWS ZARAGOZA
For the Latvian it will not be strange to be in Zaragoza because more than 10 years ago she wore the Mann Filter shirt during the 2014-2015 season. With the Aragonese club she averaged 13.3 points and 8.5 rebounds, becoming the top blocker in the competition.
Subsequently, he went through Perfumerías Avenida (15/16 and 19/20), Valencia Basket (24/25) and IDK Euskotren (25/26) where he arrived in the winter market from the Greek Panathinaikos.
