Ironi Kiryat Ata announced today (Thursday) the extension of American center Brendan Medley-Bacon's contract for another season. Medley-Bacon arrived at Kiryat Ata near the end of the season and helped the team remain in the league. Next season he will join guard Holland Woods, who has already signed with the club and played alongside him last season in Turkey's second division.

Medley-Bacon (26, 2.15) attended four different universities - Coppin State, VCU, McNeese and North Carolina Central - before completing his college studies in 2023. He began his professional career with Bursa Finalsspor in Turkey's second league, where he played for two years, and last year moved to Fenerbahce B, also in Turkey's second league. After arriving at Kiryat Ata he appeared in four games and averaged 16.8 points and 11.3 rebounds per game.

Besides the foreign duo, Yuval Levin will also continue with Kiryat Ata after returning to the team late last season. Young and talented center Daniel Sharon from Maccabi Rehovot has joined as well. The club added Amit Rachmelivitz to the coaching staff as first assistant coach. Rachmelivitz had already agreed terms with Hapoel Megiddo of the National League but, as part of cooperation between the clubs, he moved to assist Eldad Bentov.
