Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius strengthened its roster by signing forward Matas Jogela to a two-year deal, the club announced Wednesday. Jogela (2.01 meters, 25 years old) arrives from Rio Breogan Lugo, where he averaged 7.3 points and 3.9 rebounds in 33 Spanish League games last season.
Born in Klaipeda, Lithuania, Jogela started his career with Sarunas Marciulionio KA. He went to play for Zalgiris Kaunas's second team, Dzukija Alytus and Neptunas Klaipeda. Jogela had a breakthrough 2022-23 season with Neptunas, averaging 13.2 points and 4.9 rebounds in 34 Lithuanian League games. He has also been a member of the Lithuanian national team and helped his country's U18 squad to a silver medal at the 2016 European Championships.
"Matas is still a growing basketball player who has great athleticism and can play multiple positions, which is very important in today's basketball. Although he is still quite young, he has already accumulated experience in European basketball, knows what it takes to play abroad, and was invited to the national team," Wolves sports director and BKT EuroCup champion Donatas Zavackas said. "Congratulations on joining and we hope that he will easily find his place in our team."
