Rostock Seawolves sign Belgian center Van Vliet for promotion!
The Rostock Seawolves are looking forward to the future with their latest signing. How Northern Courier Reportedly, the Seawolves have signed Belgian center Andy Van Vliet. The 29-year-old comes from Trefl Sopot, where he won the Polish championship last season. With an impressive height of 2.13 meters, Van Vliet not only brings a present physical advantage, but also experience from various European leagues.
In the 2023/24 season he performed not only in Poland, but also in Greece and France. In his 45 games, he averaged 11.1 points and 5.2 rebounds - values that indicate his skill level. Sports director Kevin Anstett placed particular emphasis on Van Vliet's versatility, as he can play in both the fifth and fourth positions.

Before his commitment to Rostock, he played for BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque in France and also showed impressive performances here with an average of 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in just over 20 minutes of playing time.
