\tMaccabi Rapyd Tel Aviv has signed Will Rayman to a three-year contract extension. The combative Israeli forward (2.03 m, 28), who was loaned to for one season and has played for the club over the past two seasons, had previously been under contract through the end of the current season. This move is part of the club’s strategy to retain a player who brings toughness and commitment, and represents an important step toward creating continuity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\tWill Rayman has made tremendous progress during his time at Maccabi, establishing himself as a defensive anchor – a tough rebounder who also shoots well from beyond the arc – and a committed player who consistently brings energy and a strong work ethic. <\/span><\/p>\n

\tIn the domestic league, he is shooting 44.2% from three-point range (39.1% in the EuroLeague, fourth on the team) and is averaging 6.4 points and 4.6 rebounds in nearly 17 minutes per game, along with relentless commitment and fighting spirit. In the EuroLeague as well, the forward has shown that he makes a significant contribution, recently earning a spot in the starting lineup and adding toughness and determination in the most intense basketball league in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\t“We are very happy that Will is extending his contract with Maccabi,” explained head coach Oded Kattash. “He has proven the great value he brings to the team and his uncompromising commitment. His hard work is paying off, and he is on an exceptional development curve.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\t“Over the past two years, it has been a great honor to play for Maccabi Tel Aviv, and I am very excited to extend my contract with the club for another three years,” said Will Rayman after signing. “I felt a true connection with the staff and players at Maccabi, and I feel that I have found my home away from home. I am looking forward to keep playing in front of the best fans in the world and helping us bring home wins and championships this year and in the years to come. Yalla Maccabi!”.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
