Union Olimpija added more fire power to its roster for the upcoming 2009-10 season by inking sharp shooter Matt Walsh to a one-year deal on Saturday. Walsh (197. 26) arrives from Spirou Charleroi, where he averaged 13.3 points and 2.3 assists in 9 Eurocup games last season. He has helped Spirou to win back-to-back Belgian League titles in each of the last two seasons. Walsh also lifted the Belgian League last season, in which he was the Belgian League finals MVP, too. He has also played for Manresa in Spain, Olimpia GE Larisa in Greece, the Arkansas RimRockers in the D-League and the Miami Heat in the NBA. He helped the Univeristy of Florida to win the SEC Tournament in 2005, earning MVP honors. "Walsh is a wing player that will shined in offense. He already had some experience in Europe and his best basketball years are about to arrive," Union Olimpija head coach Jure Zdovc said. "He is very ambitious and already worked with coach Drazen Anzulovic in Belgium, so he is well aware of our basketball school. I expect him to be a good fit and I am happy that we managed to bring him to Olimpija."
