Worthing Thunder tonight confirmed they have added a current Finnish international to their squad for the new BBL season.
Ville Matalainen has joined up with Thunder after playing in the final elimination phase for a place at Eurobasket.
The 6ft 5in forward is known as a defensive specialist and played for KTP in the Finnish top flight last season.
He came off the bench briefly during Finland's recent home win over mighty France in the battle for a Eurobasket berth.
