Orthodox-Amman (Premier League) strengthened their roster with addition of experienced 36-year old international 197cm forward Ahmad Alhamarsheh for season 2022-23. Alhamarsheh played most recently at Al Ahli. In 17 Premier League games he recorded 11.4ppg, 10.9rpg (#3 in the league), 4.1apg and 1.6spg last season. He helped them to make it to the semifinals. A very spectacular season in his career as he was awarded Asia-Basket.com All-Jordanian Premier League Domestic Rebounder of the Year and voted to All-Domestic Players Team and League Player of the Week.
Alhamarsheh won Jordanian League championship title in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2017.
The previous (2020-21) season he played at Al Wihdat where in 12 Premier League games he averaged 12.8ppg, 10.5rpg (#4 in the league), 3.6apg and 1.3spg in that year. He contributed to his team making it to both league and Cup finals after they ended regular season as second best team.
Alhamarsheh has been also a member of Jordanian international program for some years. He has regularly played for Jordanian senior team since 2010 and previously for U18 National Team back in 2008.
Alhamarsheh represented Jordan at the FIBA Asia Cup in Jakarta (Indonesia) this year. Alhamarsheh's team got to the Semifinals and his stats at that event were 6 games: 4.3ppg, 4.2rpg.
He has spent his entire career in Jordan playing for four other teams: Al Riyadi, Zain, Kofer Yoba and ASU Sports Club.
Alhamarsheh is close to retirement age as a player. It may be one of last seasons in his extensive career, which he may end at Orthodox.
