Maccabi Ashdod Nears Signing Swingman Sean Dawson for Upcoming Season

Following its promotion to the Israeli Basketball Premier League, Maccabi Ashdod is actively building its roster for the next season and is currently in advanced negotiations to sign 32-year-old swingman Sean Dawson. Dawson, standing 1.98 meters tall, has seen limited playing time over the past two years. Last season, he appeared in ten games for Bnei Herzliya and three for Ironi Nes Ziona. Prior to that, in the 2024/25 season, he played six games in Italy's second division with Forli, following two years with Hapoel Holon. During the 2022/23 season with Holon, he posted solid averages of 11 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the Israeli Premier League.

If Dawson completes the signing with Ashdod, it will mark his fifth team in the Israeli Premier League, having previously played for Maccabi Rishon Lezion, Bnei Herzliya, Hapoel Holon, and Ironi Nes Ziona. Ashdod's efforts to strengthen their squad reflect their ambition to compete effectively in the top tier after their recent promotion.
