Greek basketball player, Angeliki Vintsilaiou, will continue her playing career in Australia for Tasmanian team, Hobart Chargers.
The 24-year-old recently completed her season with SKK Polonia Warszawa, and has previously played for Elazig Il Ozel Idare in Turkey and Dinamo Sassari in Italy.
Angeliki led SKK Polonia to the playoffs of the Polish Championship and helped the team win the bronze medal in the European Women’s Basketball League. She finished the season with 10.6 points, 2.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals per 21.3 minutes.
Her results saw Angeliki receive an offer by the Hobart Chargers to play for the summer National Basketball League 1 (NBL1) season.
Angeliki will be the first Greek woman to compete in the Women’s Basketball Championship in Australia.
“I am very happy to be coming to Australia. I will be very happy to meet as many Greeks as I can,” Angeliki told The Greek Herald exclusively.
“I arrive in Australia on Saturday, March 31. I wanted to spend Easter in Greece with my family, but my new team wants me with them as soon as possible.”
