Matej Mitrevski joins TFT in Taftalidzhe
19-year-old shooting guard Matej Mitrevski joins TFT from KK Vardar and aims for senior minutes in domestic competition and the ABA 2 League.
TFT announced the signing of 19-year-old shooting guard Matej Mitrevski on August 16, 2026, as the Skopje club continues to reinforce its roster with young talent.
Mitrevski arrives at TFT from KK Vardar and is expected to compete for a regular role in the senior rotation. The club highlighted the player's potential and the intention to give him meaningful minutes both in the domestic championship and in the ABA 2 League.
Club strategy: youth and upward mobility
The move fits TFT’s recent recruitment pattern: prioritizing promising, homegrown-age players who can develop within the first team. Mitrevski, described by club sources as eager to progress, will train under the club’s coaching staff and join preseason preparations immediately.
At 19, Mitrevski is seen as a prospect for the backcourt with a shooting profile that the coaching staff hopes to refine. TFT’s plan is to balance his development with competitive exposure, giving him opportunities in national league matches and regional ABA 2 fixtures.
The signing was completed ahead of the new season, with the club citing the need to deepen the guard positions and add athleticism and shooting from the perimeter. Mitrevski’s transition from KK Vardar to TFT marks the latest step in his early career as he looks to secure consistent senior minutes.
