Eric Vila’s words:

“I’ve been following the project since the beginning and like most people from Girona I want Girona basketball to return to the elite. When I was presented with the option to be part of this project knowing the future goals and the ambitions they have for the club seemed to me to be a very good choice on a personal level to continue growing, to improve as a person and as a player and at the same time aspire to raise Girona basketball to the elite. I think that the ambitions of this team’s expectations are very high and we hope to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. I am very happy to return home, to play in Girona and Fontajau. We are Girona!”
