Corsarios Cartagena (Liga Wplay) added to their roster 32-year old Canadian-Jamaican guard Jabs Newby (188cm-86kg-1991, college: Gannon) for season 2024. Newby played last summer at Carrib.Storm. In 11 Liga Wplay games in Colombia he recorded 7.6ppg, 3.6rpg, 3.8apg and 1.0spg. He helped them to win the league title despite they ended the regular season at the second place. The last season he played at OCA Global CB Salou in Spanish LEB Silver where in 13 games he averaged 7.5ppg, 2.5rpg and 2.6apg.
Newby is quite experienced player. Thanks to his pro career he managed to play on three different continents (Europe, Latin America and of course North America) in four different countries. He has played previously professionally in Mexico (Pioneros Los Mochis), Spain (Algeciras, Clavijo, Araberri, La Roda and Gijon Circulo), Canada (Riptide, Power, Windsor Express and Bandits) and NBA G League (Raptors 905 Missisauga).
The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others he was voted to USBasket.com NBL Canada All-Rookie Team back in 2015.
Newby graduated from Gannon University in 2014 and it will be his eleventh season as a professional player. He played also for Eastern Kentucky University for 2 years.
