Felicidades to new CSUB alum Aja Williams, who has signed a contract to play pro basketball in Spain.
Williams, whom we profiled in June, has signed with Club Deportivo Talent in Santander, located in the Cantabria region on the north coast of Spain.
She will join the team in September.
“It sounded like they’re family oriented, so I like that,” said Williams, who played for the Roadrunners for two years and graduated in May. “They’re also about bettering me, not just me bettering their program.”
She didn’t want to get into the details of her contract, except to say it’s for nine months and covers all her living expenses. She’s excited to move to Spain, someplace she’s never been.
Two other Americans play for the team, which Williams said has a strong fan base.
"Aja Williams is an athletic player of great intensity, able to develop offensive and defensive tasks in the same way and with great success,” her new coach, Luisma Solana, told Contrameta.com.
