Holley
was scouted by an Elizur Ashkelon agent during the Giants’ recent uni-ball trophy
fixture with Milton Keynes and an approach was made for the player last week.
Montgomery continued, “There were
discussions had between the club and Tony and his agent and it was eventually decided that
it would be best for all if Tony left the Giants. We certainly didn’t want to re-sign
Tony under duress. At the age of 32, Tony felt he had to do what was best for his career
and we understand that and wish him well.”
Head Coach Andre Alleyne added: “Tony got
a lucrative deal and he decided that it was the right move for him. I didn’t want to
keep him if he didn’t want to stay. We have a good team and we are free of injuries
now, so I think we will fine. We are still moving in the right direction.”
Giants have recently signed North Carolina
graduate, Brian Reese, and with Julius Joseph, Brian Earl, Teva Johnson and Martin
Gottfried all recovered from injury, the Giants are in good shape.
