Brett Blizzard will still wear the black and white shirt

Bertram Derthona is pleased and proud to announce that it has reached an agreement with Brett Alan Blizzard, who will also wear the black and white shirt in the 2019/20 season.

Born in Tallahassee (Florida) on 12 June 1980, Brett returned from his first year with the Bertram Derthona shirt, with whom he played in 27 games between the championship and the Super Cup, scoring 9.6 points on average with 44% from three points and 91% on free throws to which he added 2.2 rebounds and 1.9 assists per outing. Blizzard is now preparing to start the second consecutive season with the Juventus Club jersey.

Thus Marco Picchi, CEO of Bertram Derthona: ʺAt the end of the last championship there was a firm desire on Brett's part to renew his commitment with us. This made a difference; we also believe that, even if starting from the bench, he can play the decisive balls in matches thanks to his class. Together with Buffo he will be the only confirmed player of the last, difficult season: his status is indisputable, so we are happy to still have him with us as his stay represented the starting point in building the new team..

These are the words of Brett Blizzard: ʺI am very happy to continue my career in Tortona and I am preparing for next season. I will find some new faces in the club as well as people I already know: the common goal will be to play a better year than the one just ended. I can't wait to return to Italy with my family; I would like to thank the club, the managers, the technical staff and Doctor Gavio for offering me the opportunity to play in Tortona again next year. Furthermore, my bond with Marco Picchi and coach Ramondino is very strong: for this reason too I am happy and I hope that all the fans are ready for the new seasonʺ.
