The transfer was announced by the team's site and Betts said that he always wanted to play for the crowd of Aris that he remembers from the days he was a player of AEK.
Andrew Betts said that he spoke to Andrea Mazzon and he was thrilled when he heard that the team want him to help them qualify for next year's Euroleague. Aris participated in the Euroleague between 2006 and 2008 and they want to return to the top league in Europe.
