ROBBIE HERNDON SIGNS ONE-YEAR EXTENSION WITH NLEX

ROBBIE Herndon has signed a one-year extension with NLEX, allowing the Road Warriors to keep one of their best shooters on the team.

Herndon inked the deal last Monday at the NLEX compound in Caloocan City before team governor Ronald Dulatre. He initially joined NLEX last July 11, 2023 as a free agent.

"I’m grateful to NLEX for their vote of confidence," said Herndon. "As I told Boss Ronald earlier, I can’t wait to get back to work and be with the guys. I’m thankful for the trust they’ve given me."

The San Francisco State product averaged 6.9 points and shot 43.7 percent from three-point range, a weapon that will be valuable for NLEX in its bid to bounce back from a premature exit during the PBA 49th Season where it was ousted by Rain or Shine in the Philippine Cup quarterfinals despite twice-to-beat advantage.

"Last season was painful especially after we lost our twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals. That feeling still lingers, not just for me, but for all my teammates and coaches. It’s a big motivation for us heading into the next conference," said Herndon.

The 32-year-old Mactan, Cebu native is also expected counted upon to bring leadership to NLEX and its young core.
