Robbie Herndon signed a one-year contract extension with NLEX on Monday afternoon at the NLEX Compound in Balintawak, Caloocan City.
“I’m grateful to NLEX for their vote of confidence,” said Herndon. “As I told Boss Ronald (Dulatre) earlier, I can’t wait to get back to work and be with the guys. I’m thankful for the trust they’ve given me.”
The 6-foot-3 Filipino American out of San Francisco State was originally signed by NLEX as a free agent on July 11, 2023.
Since then, Herndon has become a consistent presence for the Road Warriors, offering valuable shooting and veteran leadership on the wing.
In the previous season, he averaged 6.9 points on an efficient 43.7-percent shooting from three-point range, along with 2.9 rebounds per game.
Now, the 32-year-old is eager to return to Mactan, Cebu, with a renewed sense of purpose as NLEX gears up for a redemption campaign.
“Last season was painful — especially after we lost our twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals,” he admitted.
“That feeling still lingers, not just for me, but for all my teammates and coaches. It’s a big motivation for us heading into the next conference.”
