Up to now, Chris Dodero has only played in his native USA and in Canada. Most recently, the forward played in the American International College in the NCAA (134 games - 71 points). In five seasons, he won the Championship no less than three times.

"Chris Dodero is very fast and energetic and he can handle both more and less players well. With him, we get a player who is eager to prove himself and can't wait to play with us. I'm glad he's going to be part of our team because it gives us a dimension we've been missing. He has good work habits and also a lot of character qualities. I think he will fit perfectly into our team," says head coach Mitja Šivic, looking forward to the new addition.
