Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv signed Othello Hunter (33) for next season with an option to extend for another year. The contract of the experienced center, which proved himself sporting-wize, mental-wize and social-wize and was signed for the current season with an option for another year, was therefore extended at least until the summer of 2021.

“I am very grateful to be wearing the Maccabi jersey for another season”, said Othello Hunter to maccabi.co.il. “If you know me at all then you would know that all I want to do is win and I want to do that with Maccabi. I would like to thank coach for wanting me on his team in the first place. I’m very thankful to the management, owners and the Maccabi fans for welcoming me and my family with open arms. The journey continues, Yalla Maccabi”.

“This is another important step on the part of the management and owners”, coach Giannis Sfairopoulos said in response to maccabi.co.il. “I am delighted that we have extended Othello’s contract because he is a very important player for our roster and for our goals. He is already giving maximum effort to the team and we We want to keep his effort & winning mentality to the road ahead. I’m glad we’re continuing together”.

Othello Hunter was signed, as we recall, in the summer as a center alongside Tarik Black. The other’s injury allowed the veteran fighter to take a step forward and he proves his worth every time.
