Eric Mika is headed to Italy.

The former Lone Peak and BYU standout has signed to play with the club Pallancestro Pesaro on the eastern coast of the country, the team announced. Pesaro competes in Lega Basket Serie A, the top league in Italy.

For the 6-foot-10, 230-pound Mika, the move to Italy will be a reunion of sorts. He and his wife Gabrielle both served missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints there.
