Former Gonzaga guard Rasir Bolton signs with Serbian club Spartak Subotica

Former Gonzaga guard Rasir Bolton signs with Serbian club Spartak Subotica

Rasir Bolton put up impressive numbers in his first professional season in Europe and was accepted into the league.

The former Gonzaga guard will look to repeat that success at a new club in a new country after signing with Serbia’s FK Spartak Subotica, the team announced Thursday.

Bolton’s move comes hot on the heels of a successful rookie season with the Antwerp Giants of the BNXT League, which consists of teams from Belgium and the Netherlands. The guard averaged 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists for the team and was named to the All-BNXT First Team.

Bolton scored at least 20 points in 10 games, including a season-high 29 points in a 102-75 win over Okapi Aalstar on Dec. 2. The former GU guard, who also played for Iowa State and Penn State, was the second-leading scorer in the BNXT League behind Tyreke Key, who played at the collegiate level for Tennessee and Indiana State.

Antwerp made it to the third round of the BNXT playoffs before losing to Filou Oostende 3-1 in a Gour Game series.

Bolton, who was named All-Belgian Pro Basketball League Guard of the Year by Eurobasket.com, will be the second foreign player on Spartak Subotica’s roster alongside Montenegrin Danilo Nikolic.
