Limoges CSP announced on Tuesday its last recruitment for the 2022-2023 season. German-American player Gavin Schilling completes the squad at pivot position. Last season, this young 26-year-old player played for FC Bayern Munich where he held the position of strong winger. The Limoges CSP staff sees him as a multi-faceted player.
As Kevin Anstett, the sporting director of Limoges CSP, points out: “We are waiting for him to take another step forward with us, on the offensive level, as he was able to do in Braunschweig and for him to be our defensive base just like Wilfried Yeguete”.
Limoges coach Massimo Cancellieri, meanwhile, adds: “Gavin is motivated to move forward in his career and that means a lot to me. He has the physique and size that we need in the racket.”
