Kiryat Shalom truly became my home and the experiences I gained as well as the friendships I created will follow me for as long as I live. The players I played alongside, the coaches, the medical and logistics staff, all the Club’s employees from Mitch Goldhar, Jack Angelides, Ben Mansford who were with me in happy and difficult moments – thank you all. To you the Maccabi fans who knew to lift and support everywhere and anytime – I have a massive place in my heart. Thanks for everything.”
