Uganda Gazelles forward Janon Jaye Otto has joined Bulgarian basketball club BC Beroe Stara Zagora ahead of the new season. The 29-year-old arrives from Spanish side Joventut, bringing experience from several leagues across the world.
Beroe announced the signing, welcoming Otto to Stara Zagora as the club looks to strengthen its roster. "Welcome to Beroe, Giann Otto," the club's statement partly reads. Standing at 183 centimetres, Otto plays at positions three and four and holds a Ugandan passport, making her eligible to represent the Uganda Gazelles on the international stage.
Otto joins Beroe on the back of an impressive campaign in Mongolia, where she won the league championship and was named Most Valuable Player. She subsequently featured in Mexico, where she also made a positive impression.
Her career has taken her across Australia, Egypt, Spain, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg and the United States, giving her experience in different basketball environments. The move to Bulgaria adds another chapter to her international career as she prepares to feature for Beroe in Stara Zagora, and continues to build her profile abroad as a Gazelles star.
