Jeff obtained a Polish passport in 2003 and has won two Polish national titles, first in Wloclawek, for a team coached by Andrej Urlep (in 2003), and another at Prokom Trefl Sopot (2006). He is an excellent outside shooter who also brings leadership and veteran experience to the National Team. He was out for a long period due to a foot injury suffered in January 2007. Nordgaard’s statistics have always been consistent but not spectacular. His only weakness would appear to be his defense, but he always works hard to compensate. |
