Thomas Bropleh is back at FC Porto. The 34-year-old American guard/forward is the latest addition to the basketball team and returns to Invicta almost ten years later. The player says he is ready to embrace “new opportunities” and fight for “new goals,” believing he is coming back as “a more complete player” and “more mature.” “Returning to FC Porto was an easy decision,” he said. “Individually, I want to be the best player I can be for the team so that we can achieve our goals, which are to win every trophy we can,” assured Thomas Bropleh, for whom “the city is fantastic and FC Porto has tremendous fans.”

A natural return “It was easy to say yes. I played here almost 10 years ago, I know the city, I know the Club, so it was an easy decision.”

The talks with Fernando Sá “We had several conversations over the summer, about two or three weeks ago. We got along well, and now here I am.”

New challenges and new opportunities for success “I know the team won the championship last year, but this is a new year, with new players, a new team, new opportunities, and new goals.”

More mature and more complete “I feel that I’m more mature. I’ve played in other leagues, I’ve been all over the world, so I consider myself a more complete player. I’m the same player I was 10 years ago, but with more experience.”

The experience gained in the ACB “The Spanish league is the best in Europe, without a doubt. Reaching Spain, a top league, says a lot about you as a player. It definitely helped me a lot in my career.”

Collective and individual goals “The collective goals are about winning. Individually, I want to be the best player possible for the team, so that we can achieve our goals, which are to win every trophy we can.”

The first time in the Champions League “I’m very excited. It’s the first time I’ve had the opportunity to play in the Champions League, a fantastic competition. I’m looking forward to facing different teams in Europe.”

Message for the Porto family “I’m very excited to be back. The city is fantastic and FC Porto has tremendous fans. I was here 10 years ago for two months, but the Club and the city always stayed with me. Fortunately, I’m back and can be part of this journey again. Thank you to the fans, and I hope to see you at Dragão Arena this season.”
