Looking for a new contract after freelancing at Nanterre, Edwin Jackson (1.90m, 32 years) moved up to the Spanish third division, Menorca.
After a short spell at Nanterre at the start of the season, Edwin Jackson returned to Spain. The former Villeurbannais has signed a contract with Hestia Menorca, one of the five co-leaders of the Eastern Conference of the LEB Plata, the Spanish third division, which notably includes Maxime Yomi, the former Espoir de Boulogne, among the ranks of he.
His brief spell at Nanterre in Betclic Elite at the beginning of the year, the second after the 2008-09 season in Pro B, will not leave a lasting impression (2.8 points, 1.0 assists for 3.3 rating in 13 minutes over 4 games).
“I am very happy to play again, as well as with Javier Zamora and with many players with whom I have a special relationship, as in the case of Nacho (Arroyo), who was my partner at Estudiantes. I can’t wait to get started,” says Edwin Jackson in a press release.
“Edwin is a player of great quality and experience. But the most important thing is that we have integrated a person of exceptional human quality into the project, which is a luxury for any organization ”, also praises his new coach Javier Zamora, whom he had already met in Madrid.
The French international (54 caps) will thus begin his seventh season in Spain, after five years in the first division and one in the second, in 2021-22, with Estudiantes Madrid (8.6 points on 44.1% shooting, 2.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 20 minutes in 15 games).
