Hapoel Tel-Aviv parts ways with Tracy Smith

Hapoel Tel-Aviv, one of the Israeli participants in the EUROHOLD Balkan League and American forward Tracy Smith parted ways less than two weeks after the player′s arrival in the team.   The 203-cm tall forward joined the Israeli side in the beginning of September, but the club and the player decided that it′s the best decision for both sides to terminate the contract. The main reason is that the American couldn′t adapt well to the way of life in Israel.   This was Smith′s first professional contract, as he just came out of college. However Hapoel will look for a replacement now, to fill the gap left by Smith′s departure.
