Experienced shooter Eleftherios Bochoridis is heading back to Aris Thessaloniki for the third time ahead of the new BKT EuroCup season, this time on a one-year contract that the club announced on Saturday. Bochoridis (1.96 meters, 29 years old), who started his career with Aris, returns to the club from Panathinaikos Athens where last season he made 17 limited appearances - all but one coming off the bench - in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, and averaged 3.4 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the Greek League action.
Veteran guard made his debut in the EuroCup as a teenager with Aris in the 2011-12 season. He then joined Panathinaikos in 2014, spending three years with the Greens before returning to Aris. In 2020 Bochoridis moved back to Athens for another stint with Panathinaikos, and now he is making the return journey to Aris once again, which will be his third stint with the club where he grew up.
Bochoridis has totaled 91 EuroLeague appearances during his two stints with the Greens, and he has a career average of 2.8 points and 1.5 assists in just over 12 minutes per game for his career in the EuroLeague action. He also has scored a total of 11 points in five appearances in the EuroCup more than a decade ago. He has also been a member of the Greek national team.
