Jones, 28, inked a contract for the next season with an option for an additional season, the Israeli side announced Friday.

Set to compete in Israel for the first time in his career, he will join the Winner League defending champions that already retained Frederic Bourdillon, Niv Misgav, and Joe Ragland from last season’s squad and reunited with C.J. Harris.
