BEIJING, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA) club Hebei Thursday announced the signing of Guo Zixuan, a member of China's national team.

Playing as a small forward, Guo will wear the No. 11 jersey in Hebei after her contract with current club Shanxi expires at the end of the unfinished 2019-20 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Guo, 23, was born in Hebei Province before joining the local team in 2009. She was recruited into China's under-15 training group in 2012, and became a member of the national team in 2019.

Guo boasts excellent scoring ability and has displayed good technique on the perimeter position through fast breaks and jump shots.

Guo shared her expectation after returning to where her basketball dream began.

"I feel quite happy to play for my hometown team," she said. "I will spare no efforts to shoulder more responsibilities next season."

"I will try to build chemistry with new teammates as soon as possible, and put on more high-quality games," Guo added.

The Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) announced on Thursday that the men's league will restart on June 20, but no exact date for WCBA resumption has been set by the governing body. Enditem
