Syracuse, N.Y. -- Former Syracuse University basketball player Frank Howard has signed a contract with Hungarian pro team Atomeromu SE.

Howard confirmed his agreement with the team via a text message on Tuesday. He had previously hinted at the signing by tweeting out a message with Hungary’s flag.

Atomeromu SE, or ASE, is located in Paks, Hungary. The team participates in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I/A, which is the highest professional league in Hungary. The team has also signed former University of Buffalo player Jeremy Harris.

Howard played for Syracuse from 2015 to 2019. As a freshman, he played on the Syracuse team that reached the 2016 NCAA Final Four. He was the Orange’s starting point guard for each of the past two seasons. He averaged 14.4 points per game as a junior.

He was hampered by an injured ankle this past season and saw his scoring average dip to 8.9 points per game. His career ended abruptly when he was suspended one day prior to the NCAA tournament and he had to miss Syracuse’s loss to Baylor.
