LaMarr Greer has signed a two-year contract extension with BC Kyiv.

Greer, a 1.96m guard who averaged almost 18 points a game in the FIBA Europe League last season, is happy with life in the Ukrainian capital and has signed a deal through to June 2007.

		Ratko Varda will join Greer next season in Kyiv

Meanwhile Kyiv have also secured the services of forward Ratko Varda from Turkish club BC Besiktas.

The 26-year-old, who had a brief period in the NBA with the Washington Wizards in 2002, has signed a two-year contract.

Varda started his career with Partizan Belgrade before moving to the States. After an injury-troubled time in the NBA he played for Slovenian side Olimpia and Greek club Apollon.

Last season Varda was a member of the starting five in the FIBA Europe League All Star game.

Kyiv clinched the Superleague in the 2004/05 campaign with a 3-0 sweep of Azovmash Mariupol but lost the final of the FIBA Europe League to Dynamo St Petersburg.
