Steve Burtt leaves Stelmet Zielona Gora, signs with Fuenlabrada

The American guard Steve Burtt is leaving Stelmet Zielona Gora. The team and the player opted out of the deal by mutual agreement. Steve’s next stop is Spain.

- Steve got a big money offer from one of the Spanish teams and he wanted to move there. We agreed. In any case we will not stand in his way, considering that - after Wednesday night's loss at Podgorica - we are out of the Eurocup's next round contention - the team owner Janusz Jasinski said. - From what we are told, on Monday Steve is going to play his first game for the new team, so it really was a fast goodbye with the team, as he is in a little hurry to move.

The organization would like to express its heartfelt appreciation to Steve for his commitment as a member of the team. We are sorry to see him go, but we wish him all the best with his new team.

Burtt is moving to Fuenlabrada, in Spain, as reported by David Pick.
