End of an Era: Ironi “Hay Motors” Ness Ziona Bids Farewell to Team Captain Jerome Meyinsse

Ironi “Hay Motors” Ness Ziona would like to express its heartfelt gratitude to team captain Jerome Meyinsse for his time with the club and wishes him great success in his future endeavors.

Meyinsse, 35, first joined Ness Ziona in the 2020/21 season, and after a season in Japan, returned to the Orange for two more seasons from 2022 to 2024. He ranks in the top 5 in nearly every statistical category in the club’s history, including games played (third), points (fourth), rebounds (second), and blocked shots (first).

During his three seasons with Ness Ziona, the team achieved significant success both domestically and in Europe - including reaching the playoffs in all three seasons, making it to the State Cup semifinals in 2022/23, participating in the Champions League qualifiers for the first time in 2023/24, and of course, the unforgettable FIBA Europe Cup championship in 2021.

Club Chairman Yaniv Mizrahi: “Jerome is one of the most iconic players associated with the club. He played a key role in our pinnacle event – the FIBA Europe Cup – and since then, has become dear to all our hearts as an incredible person with a unique personality. He has always been a cornerstone for us both on the court and in the locker room. He undoubtedly deserves to be inducted into the club’s Hall of Fame for his performance both on and off the court. This is a difficult farewell for us – Captain, we love you, and Ness Ziona will always be an open home for you!”
