Israeli Forward Lior Carrera Signs Two-Year Deal with Maccabi Ramat Gan

Maccabi Ironi Ramat Gan officially announced the signing of Israeli forward Lior Carrera to a two-year contract. Carrera, 28 years old and standing 1.96 meters tall, joins the team coached by Elad Hassin after leaving Hapoel Holon, where he played last season. The agreement was finalized before Carrera left with the Israeli national team for World Cup qualifiers in Latvia.

Carrera brings six years of experience in the Israeli Premier League, having previously played two seasons with Hapoel Galil Elyon and three with Ironi Nes Ziona. Last season at Holon, he averaged 22 minutes per game in the regular season, scoring 7.2 points per game, with a season-high 17 points against Elitzur Netanya. In five playoff games, he averaged 19.6 minutes and 4.4 points.

At Ramat Gan, Carrera will reunite with teammate Gil Bnei, his former youth teammate at Maccabi Ra'anana. Coach Elad Hassin praised Carrera, calling him a "figure" who brings leadership, composure, and fits the team’s DNA. Hassin expressed enthusiasm about working with Carrera again, having previously coached him at Nes Ziona.

This signing follows the recent departure of Adam Ariel from Maccabi Ramat Gan, signaling the club’s efforts to strengthen its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
