Mike Torres re-signs with Lucentum Alicante for another season

The Spanish basketball club Lucentum Alicante has secured the return of point guard Mike Torres for the upcoming season. Torres, a 31-year-old player of Hispanic-Dominican descent, was a standout performer last season and marks the first official signing for the team under new head coach Pedro Rivero. His re-signing is a significant move as the club prepares for the next campaign in Spain's second-tier league, the Primera FEB.

Torres brings a wealth of experience to the Alicante squad, having previously played for teams such as Albacete Basket, Coruña, and Valladolid. He also possesses international experience from his time playing in the Mexican league. Born in Barcelona, Torres has represented the Dominican Republic's national team, adding a layer of international caliber to his profile.

Expressing his satisfaction with the renewal, Torres highlighted the strong connection he has developed with Alicante and its fanbase. "From the first day, I have felt very loved, and I am very happy to continue being part of this project," he stated. Torres conveyed his enthusiasm for the new season, emphasizing his desire for personal growth and collective improvement, with the clear objective of surpassing last season's results.

The Lucentum Alicante team is anticipating a substantial restructuring following a disappointing end to the previous season. Despite reaching the playoffs, the team's overall performance, particularly in the latter half of the season, did not meet expectations. The club's leadership and fans will be looking to Torres and the new coaching staff to lead a resurgence.
