AARON Levarity will be headed to France’s Nationale Masculine 1 League for the third season of his professional career.

Levarity has signed with CTC LYONSO Basket Territoire for the upcoming 2022-23 season.

The Grand Bahama native spent his last two seasons with the Svendborg Rabbits of the Basketligaen, the highest level of basketball in Denmark.

Last season he averaged 14.9 points and 11 rebounds per game in 36 contests. He also averaged 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

In his first season with the Rabbits, Levarity averaged 12 points and 5.5 rebounds per game with the club. “LYONSO is happy to announce the arrival of Aaron Levarity within the club. This powerful and scoring 4-5 position comes from Svendborg Rabbits, a Danish first division club, and reinforces Maxence Broyer’s squad,” the organisation said in a press release. “The whole Team LYONSO welcomes Aaron and can’t wait to see him in action on the Canopée floor.”

Levarity played collegiately at Milligan College in the NAIA where he became the team’s leading scorer and rebounder in his final two seasons under head coach Bill Robinson.

The Bishop Michael Eldon graduate, who later attended the University of the Bahamas, became the Appalachian Athletic Conference leading scorer with 19.1 points per game, top rebounder with 12.5 rebounds per game and top shot blocker with 1.47 blocks per game in his senior season.

His field goal percentage ranked seventh in NAIA Division II. He also ranked within the top 10 in four other categories, including both defensive and offensive rebounds per game.
