Niels Giffey is officially returning to Germany after signing a long-term deal with FC Bayern Munich.
According to the club's announcement, the 31-year-old signed a contract until the end of the 2024-25 season.
"I am happy to return to the BBL and the EuroLeague," Giffey said in an official statement. "This is, of course, a special step for me and also an emotional one that I have thought through for a long time."
"But Munich is now a very good option for me, also because of the longer-term perspective. I'm especially looking forward to playing with guys like Paul, Nick, Izzy, and Andi, who I know well. That's why I knew there was a good core here, that was also a reason for my decision," he continued.
Giffey made his debut in the EuroLeague with ALBA Berlin before moving to Zalgiris Kaunas for the 2021-22 season. Throughout 104 games, he averaged 6.9 points and 2.5 rebounds per contest.
In his brief stint in Murcia, the two-time NCAA champion with Connecticut and 2-time German league champion with ALBA made his BCL and ACB debut, averaging 6.0 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
