"I couldn't be more excited to be back in Niagara,” the 29-year-old said Wednesday. “I really enjoyed being here last season and being part of such a top-notch organization. I'm looking forward to playing in front of the amazing River Lions fans and can't wait to be part of the Canadian Elite Basketball League."
