Terrafirma has locked Javi Gomez de Liaño to a two-year deal, Wednesday at the team’s homebase at Azure Residences.
Gomez de Liaño, along with manager Marvin Espiritu, signed the deal with Dyip team manager Ronald Tubid.
The 6-foot-5 winger out of University of the Philippines was drafted as the eighth overall pick in the 2022 PBA Draft by Ginebra.
Two days later, he and Brian Enriquez were shipped to Terrafirma for no. 2 pick Jeremiah Gray.
And Gomez de Liaño has a chip on his shoulder as he enters his second year as a pro player.
“Iniisip ko na lang na I wanna help put Terrafirma on the map, help start a winning culture there,” said Gomez de Liaño.
“Coach John [Cardel] wanted me, so it’s a good thing for me, being in a place where I’m wanted. I’m happy.“
Allen Mina is also expected to be signed by Terrafirma today.
