Danny I. joins Meralco

Raise the roof! Danny Ildefonso signs with Meralco, to join Bolts against Air 21 | InterAksyon.com | Sports5


Free agent center Danny Ildefonso has signed with the Meralco Bolts until the end of the PLDT MyDSL Philippine Cup.

Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio confirmed the news to InterAksyon.com in a text message.

“We signed Danny Ildefonso until the end of the conference. His presence will give us more ceiling and maturity,” wrote Gregorio.

The two-time Most Valuable Player spent the first 15 years of his career with the San Miguel Beer/Petron Blaze franchise before being left unsigned prior to the season.

He was instrumental in the development on emerging center June Mar Fajardo, a rookie with the Boosters last season.

Ildefonso is expected to suit up for the Bolts against the Air 21 Express on Saturday.

At Meralco, he reunites with his former coach Jong Uichico, who serves as consultant for the Bolts.
