Jose Antelo will continue being the captain of Murcia for three more years! As the Eurocup newcomers officially announced, they struck a deal with the Spanish forward until 2019.
The 29-year old player has been wearing the jersey of Murcia since 2012, when he arrived from Caceres. He had his best season with the team last year, when he averaged 12 points and 4.7 rebounds to lead Murcia in the Liga Endesa playoffs for the first time ever in the history of the club.
“I want to thank the president for the trust he has placed on me and for endorsing my contract reneweal”, said Antelo in the website of Murcia, while explaining why he chose to remain in the team. “People around the club are essential for making my decision. It is true that I had more substantial offers, but it is also true that when I injured my knee and did not know if I will return to play basketball. The club renewed me”.
