Presidential Basketball Club «Astana» announces the signing of a contract with an American forward Jeffrey Crockett.

Jeffrey Crockett was born on October 16, 1991, in Watertown, New York, USA. He is an American professional basketball player playing on a position of a small forward.

Jeffrey's basketball career began in 2010 after entering Texas Tech. Over the course of four years as a member of the Texas Tech Red Raiders team, part of the Big 12 Conference student sports conference, he participated in the 1st Division of the National University Athletics Association (NCAA). In 125 matches held, the young athlete scored an average of 9.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

After completing his studies, Crockett began his professional career in Italy and spent the 2014/2015 season at «Derthona Basket» team, which played in the second division of the country — Serie A2 Basket, and also became a member of the Italian LNP Star Match. He played the first half of the same season in the Japanese championship as part of «Shinshu Brave Warriors» team, and completed it already in the Swiss championship with «SAM Massagno» team and became the best forward in the championship. In the 2016-2017 season, he returned to Italy, sharing a year with «Forlì» and «Trapani» teams. One of the most productive seasons was the 2017/2018 season, in which Geoffrey played for the Danish «Bakken Bears» team and helped her win the Danish Cup, as well as become the country's champions. He is also the MVP of the tournament finals. The 2018/2019 season in France with «Le Portel» team was overshadowed by an injury, starting with a heel injury at the beginning of the season and then at the end of the season in January 2019. After the start of the 2019/2020 season in the Lebanese Championship with «Anibal Zahle», Crockett signed with the Australian National Basketball League, «South East Melbourne Phoenix», as a temporary replacement for one of the injured players. After completing the contract on December 6, he did not return to Lebanon but signed a contract with «Canterbury Rams» team from the New Zealand Championship, where he played for almost a month, and then signed a contract with «Astana».
