Jamie Malonzo is embracing another opportunity to play overseas, vowing to make the most of his second stint in Japan after signing with Earthfriends Tokyo Z.

The 29-year-old forward said he is eager to begin a new chapter of his career and compete in front of the club’s passionate supporters as he continues his career in Japan.

“I’m incredibly blessed and grateful to begin this new chapter of my journey with Earthfriends Tokyo Z. It’s an honor to join a club with such passionate fans and a strong vision for the future,” said Malonzo, who signed with the club on Friday.

“I’m excited to get to Tokyo, meet my teammates, coaches, and everyone who supports this organization. I can’t wait to compete at the highest level, give everything I have every single day, and do my part to help bring success to the team. See you all soon — let’s make this a special season together!”

Malonzo returned to Japan after a brief stint with Kyoto Hannaryz during the 2025-26 season, where he averaged 1.2 points in five appearances.

He will become the second Filipino to suit up for Earthfriends Tokyo Z after Juan Gomez de Liaño, who played for the club in 2021.
