Jun 24, 2016 | 9:17 AM

KAMLOOPS — Josh Wolfram is going to Sweden. 

The former TRU Wolfpack power forward has signed his first professional contract with Umea BSKT of the Swedish Basketligan. It’s a one-year contract, with a team option for the second year.

“It’s a dream come true to sign a professional contract in Europe,” said Wolfram. “I want to thank everyone who has supported me, and I cannot wait to begin my career with Umea.”

Wolfram is coming off his final collegiate season with the Wolfpack, averaging 19 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game in leading TRU to a silver medal at the Canada West Final Four and a first appearance at the CIS National Championships. Wolfram was selected to his second consecutive All-CanWest First Team.

The SouthKam grad is not foreign to playing overseas, representing Canada last summer at the 2015 World University Games in South Korea, where the Canadians finished seventh. In 8 games, he averaged 3.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in 13 minutes of playing time.

I’ve heard only good things about him and he should fit great into what we’re doing on and off the court.”
