Zabelin Has Returned To The Native Club
One of the most talented alumni of Avtodor Saratov Artem ZABELIN (27 years, 215 cm, 115 kg) who is able to play both power forward and centre ha signed the contract with the club for the 2015/2016 season.
Vladimir RODIONOV
Avtodor Saratov President:
"Zabelin is our alumni. Artem has missed all previous season after very serious injury. He is currently completely recovered and finds himself in a very good shape. We hope Zabelin could become one of our team's leader."
Brad GREENBERG
Avtodor Saratov Head Coach:
"Artem is an experienced big man with a soft touch and uncommon range for someone so tall. He is experienced and is working hard to get into confident game shape. It's evident he has dedicated himself to recovering from a second ACL surgery and he is beginning to once again play on instinct. We are structuring his workouts to help him progress at a good pace and be in top condition when our season begins."

I'm very glad to be a part of this squad. I worked hard this summer in order to recover after the season missed due to injury and will do my best for the team.
