SEATTLE - The Seattle Storm today announced the signing of 6-5 forward Angel Robinson. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

�We are excited about Angel joining the Storm,� said head coach and general manager Brian Agler. �She is a very mobile post that has played very well in the EuroLeague and we feel she can contribute. I watched her play over the past three seasons and believe that she can help us both offensively and defensively.�

Robinson comes to Seattle after playing for Perfumerias in Spain for two seasons (2012-14), and currently averages 12.2 points and 8.2 rebounds in LFB play and 11.5 points and 10.2 rebounds in EuroLeague competition.

�I am very happy that I will be joining the Storm,� said Robinson. �I sincerely look forward to the opportunity of working with an exciting and reputable WNBA organization. As a team member, I hope to bring the talent and enthusiasm to complement an already well-oiled machine. In addition, I look forward to receiving superb training and mentoring as I progress in my athletic career.�

A University of Georgia graduate, Robinson finished her career in Athens at No. 4 in blocked shots and No. 5 in rebounds. She became the program�s 31st 1,000-point scorer during the team�s win over Georgia Tech on Dec. 6, 2009 and ended her career at No. 25 among Georgia�s career scoring leaders. The Marietta, Ga. native was named to the 2008-09 All-SEC Second Team by league coaches. She led the SEC in rebounding that same season.
