"Once she passes her medical, she will sign," said spokesman David Blay to PA Sport.

Janeth is to take the roster spot previously held by Elaine Powell, whose contract finishes on December 21.

Powell, an American, has averaged 11 points per game in the EuroLeague Women.

Ros Casares are fourth in Group A of the EuroLeague Women with three triumphs and four defeats.

On Thursday, they upset USO Mondeville Basket in the European competition.

The 36-year-old Janeth is best known in American WNBA circles for her time with the Houston Comets.
