Sixt Primorska reinforced by Matic Rebec

The young player from Postojna will reinforce the Sixt Primorska squad at the point guard position and will become the right hand of head coach Jurica Golemac. Rebec started the 2017/18 season in Russia with Enisey Krasnoyarsk, where he played abroad for the first time. He appeared in the VTB United League seven times and averaged 5 points and 1.4 assists per game.

In his career, Rebec used to play also for Helios Suns, Rogaška and Krka. Last summer he was a member of Slovenia senior national team, that became the 2017 EuroBasket champions.

Matic Rebec did not even try to hide his enthusiasm after signing with the Koper side: “I am extremely happy to have gotten the offer to play for Sixt Primorska after I decided to terminate my contract in Russia. Even though I have gotten several offers from abroad I had decided to return home to Slovenia, where I haven’t won the national championship trophy and international trophy yet and both is my huge desire. At the same time, I am looking forward to cooperating with excellent coaching staff, led by head coach Jurica Golemac and the fact that the club has appeared as highly professional and well organized already in the period of negotiations. Many challenges are ahead of us, but this only motivates me additionally to work hard and to warrant the trust of my management. I hope that the fans support us as well!"

Sixt Primorska okrepljena z Rebcem

Sixt Primorska v koledarskem letu 2018 nadaljuje z okrepitvami. Do konca sezone se bo Primorcem pridružil Matic Rebec, ki je sezono začel v Rusiji, minulo poletje pa s slovensko reprezentanco postal evropski prvak. Zdaj sta člana druge Lige ABA že kar dva evropska prvaka iz minulega leta, saj v vrstah Krke igra tudi Žiga Dimec.

Mladi košarkar iz Postojne bo tako na položaju organizatorja igre dodatno okrepil zasedbo Sixta Primorske in postal desna roka glavnega trenerja Jurice Golemca na igrišču. Sezono 2017/18 je Rebec začel v ruskem Jeniseju iz Krasnojarskega, kjer je prvič v karieri zaigral v tujini. Rebec je v Ligi VTB na parket stopil sedemkrat, dosegal pa 5,0 točk in 1,4 podaje na tekmo.

V svoji karieri je Rebec poleg Jeniseja nastopal še za Helios Suns, Rogaško in Krko. Minulo poletje je bil del slovenske reprezentance, ki se je na EuroBasketu 2017 povzpela na evropski košarkarski prestol.

Matic Rebec po dogovoru o sodelovanju s Primorci ni skrival navdušenja: „Izjemno sem vesel, da sem po odločitvi, da sporazumno prekinem pogodbo v Rusiji, dobil ponudbo kluba Sixt Primorska. Kljub temu, da sem imel še nekaj ponudb iz tujine, sem se odločil, da se vrnem v domovino, kjer za zdaj še nisem osvojil naslova državnega prvaka med člani in članske lovorike v mednarodnem tekmovanju. Obojega si s primorskim prvoligašem izjemno želim, hkrati pa se veselim sodelovanja z odličnim strokovnim štabom na čelu z glavnim trenerjem Jurico Golemcem in dejstva, da se je klub že v času pogajanj in urejanja vseh zadev, povezanih z mojo selitvijo nazaj v Slovenijo, izkazal za zelo profesionalnega in odlično organiziranega. Pred nami je veliko izzivov, a to me le še dodatno motivira h kakovostnemu in trdemu delu, s katerim želim upravičiti zaupanje novih delodajalcev ter jim po najboljših močeh pomagati k doseganju zastavljenih ciljev. Upam, da nas bodo podprli tudi gledalci!“
