JL Bourg has officially signed Tyger Campbell, who is expected to make his debut with the team on October 10 during a match in Boulazac as part of the third round of the Betclic ELITE league. According to Le Progrès, Campbell has received his qualification to play in this match, which is scheduled for 20:30.
Campbell's arrival comes at a challenging time for JL Bourg, which is already without Hugo Robineau and has also lost Tyson Walker, who is expected to be out for six weeks due to a recurring muscle injury. This situation prompted the club's management to quickly recruit a medical assistant. Campbell's signing was officially announced on October 6, and he is now immediately available to provide additional support to the team's backcourt.
Campbell is not unfamiliar with the Betclic ELITE league. Trained at UCLA, the American point guard began his professional career with Saint-Quentin during the 2023-2024 season under the guidance of Julien Mahé. During his first European experience, he played 23 matches in the Betclic ELITE, averaging 9 points, 5 assists, and 1.9 rebounds in 20 minutes of play. Since leaving Saint-Quentin, he has played in Germany, Australia, and Frankfurt.
JL Bourg is bringing back a player already familiar with the French league. His profile as an organizing point guard can offer more solutions to Frédéric Fauthoux in managing the team's perimeter. This qualification also comes after a difficult start to the European campaign for the Bressans, who were defeated by Naples (84-76) and Tofas Bursa (82-89) in the EuroCup. However, in the league, JL Bourg remains on a winning streak with a home victory against Élan Chalon (90-77).
Campbell will have the opportunity to play his first minutes with his new team in Boulazac, just four days after the official announcement of his signing.
