Dear Cignal Fans, ??????????????????????????? I had the pleasure to meet some of you in person but I never officially thanked everyone for supporting me, my team, and the entire PSL Grand Prix. Without you guys we would not be able to do what we love for a living. You guys are truly amazing! I have been avoiding the question whether I will return or not and I owe you guys an answer. Unfortunately, I will not return for the upcoming season. I had one of my best seasons in the Philippines and I believe it’s because you all brought the fun back into the sport which can be hard when it’s your profession. ???????????????????????????? Fortunately, we have social media to stay connected ?? playing in the Philippines has been a life changing experience that I will never forget.To my teammates, I love you all and I wish you the best of luck this season! “Thank you coaches, thank you teammates, thank you lord” ????????
