U-BT Cluj-Napoca has announced the signing of former EuroLeague champion Ben Altit for the 2025-26 season.
Altit (2.08 meters, 32 years old) arrives from a fellow Romanian side Rapid Bucharest, where he averaged 9.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in domestic league action last season. It was first season in Romania for the veteran center, who had spent more than a decade playing pro basketball in his native Israel.
A product of the Maccabi Tel Aviv youth system, Altit played one season of college basketball at Bryant University before returning to Israel with Bnei Hasharon for the 2012-13 season. He then rejoined Maccabi and made his EuroLeague debut in the 2013-2014 campaign.
All three EuroLeague games that Altit played in the 2013-14 season came during the Top 16 phase, as he helped Maccabi on its journey to winning the 2014 EuroLeague crown. Altit also won the Israeli League championships with Maccabi that season.
During both of those years with Maccabi, he also spent time in the Israeli second division with Elitzur Ramla and Ironi Ramat Gan. In the summer of 2015, Altit moved on to play at Maccabi Kiryat Gat. He later suited up for Maccabi Ashdod, Hapoel Galil Gilboa, Maccabi Rishon LeZion, Elitzur Ashkelon and again Ironi Ramat Gan before joining Rapid last summer.
Altit is now set to make his BKT EuroCup debut with the ambitious Cluj.
