Virtus Bolgna signs Achille Polonara. The blue wing signed a two-year contract with the bianconero club.

“Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna S.p.A. announces that it has reached a two-year agreement with Achille Polonara,” reads the statement issued by the Bologna-based team.

“Achille was born in Ancora on November 23, 1991. A 203cm wing, Polonara began playing in the youth sector of Stamura Basket Ancona before moving while still very young to Teramo, a team with which he made his Serie A debut in the 2009/2010 season. He stayed in Abruzzo for 4 seasons and after being named Best under 22 of the league he moved to Varese where for the second consecutive year he won the Best under 22 award. In 2014 the move to Reggio Emilia, where he won the Italian Supercup and reached the Scudetto Final twice. For two seasons in Sassari, where he wins the Eurochallenge and is one of the absolute protagonists of the Sardinian team’s ride to the Scudetto Final.
In the summer of 2019 the move abroad, to Baskonia: he debuts in the Euroleague but more importantly wins the Liga ACB title against Barcelona in the final. In 2021 the move to Fenerbahce with which he wins a Turkish Championship, before moving to the other side of Istanbul, with the Efes jersey with which he wins a President’s Cup. Last season, on the run, he arrives at Zalgiris, with which he recently won the Lithuanian Championship.”

“Achille is also an absolute protagonist with the Azzurri jersey: after the trafila in the youth selections, he is now a permanent fixture in the Azzurri chessboard and closed the last Eurobasket 2022 with an average of 11 points.”

“Virtus Segafredo Bologna welcomes Achille Polonara to the big Bianconera family.”
