Jure Škifić okrepil Krko

Dres Krke bo v novi sezoni oblekel tudi hrvaški košarkar Jure Škifić.

Hrvaški igralec Jure Škifić (1988) je prve košarkarske korake naredil v Zadru, odkoder je šel za tri sezone v Dubrovnik, kjer se je kalil in razvijal pod taktirko trenerja Darka Kunceta. Tedanji trener Zadra Zmago Sagadin ga je vrnil v Zadar, kjer je ostal eno sezono (2009/10). Od tu ga je pot vodila k mestnemu tekmecu Boriku, od tu pa prvič na tuje, točneje v Slovenijo, kjer je bil leto dni član Zlatoroga Laško. Po dveh sezonah na Reki je sledil nov odhod na tuje – sprva v Rusijo (Novosibirsk), potem pa na Poljsko (Polski Cukier Torun in Stal Ostrow) in Ciper (AEK Larnaca) ter v Francijo (Saint-Chamond). V lanski sezoni je v francoski ligi Pro B na tekmo beležil po 11.7 točke, 4.9 skoka in 1.7 podaje.

Jure Škifić je ob dogovoru z novomeščani povedal: „Prihod v Krko je zame nov izziv! Zelo sem vesel, da prihajam v urejen klub z odličnim trenerjem. Želim si, da bi bili naši navijači z nami v dobrem in slabem.“
