Staying red

Niv Misgav has signed for a further two years with Hapoel HaEmek – Gilboa Galil Afula!!

Misgav, who averaged 11.9 points per game this season, the highest of his career, along with 6.1 assists, will continue to be a significant figure at the club over the next two seasons as well.

Niv Misgav: "The decision to sign for another season comes from complete belief in the path we started together a year and a half ago. We have built a strong foundation here and a team with a special character and spirit, and I'm excited to continue this project. I have great appreciation for everyone at the club who fought and did everything to keep me at a place I love so much. Our fans deserve to see a fighting side that aims as high as possible, and we will do everything to give you something to celebrate in every single game. I'm already looking forward to the coming season."

The team's head coach, Sharon Avrahami: "We welcome Niv's signing. Niv's exceptional journey, the perseverance, the determination, the hard work, the strong bond with the crowd, alongside the passion for the game and the understanding of the power of continuity – that is exactly the story of Hapoel HaEmek, and it is no coincidence that he has become a player so closely identified with the club. The signing of a player who grew up in a community in the north carries great significance for us as a club that promotes the Israeli player. We believe Niv will continue to strengthen the club on its way to wins and achievements."
