Maccabi Ashdod Signs Center Tzahi Yitach for Premier League Debut
Maccabi Ashdod, newly promoted to the Israeli Basketball Premier League, announced the signing of 25-year-old center Tzahi Yitach, who stands 2.05 meters tall. Yitach, who grew up playing for M.S. Safed, averaged 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last season in the National League. Prior to joining Ashdod, he played for two other second-division teams, Maccabi Ma'ale Adumim and Hapoel Afula. This move marks Yitach's first opportunity to compete in Israel's top basketball division as Ashdod prepares for the 2026/27 season opening.
