Cedric Jackson has signed a one-year contract with Slovenian club Union Olimpija, two days after confirming he would not be returning to the Breakers.
The American point guard, who led the Breakers to two championships in his two seasons in New Zealand, has signed with the 15-time Slovenian League champions until the end of the 2013/14 season.
Ljubljana based Union Olimpija, who haven't won the league since 2009, announced the deal on their website and said the contract includes a clause which allows Jackson an early exit if an NBA team comes calling.
Jackson has long held the ambition of returning to the NBA, impressing in the Summer League during the last two off-seasons but unable to earn a contract.
The 27-year-old has previously had brief stints for three NBA teams and his chances of returning will be significantly aided by plying his trade in Europe, rather than in the Australian NBL.
