| Career | ||||
 2009-10: Signed with the top team Everton Tigers of the British Basketball league after acquiring his British passport. Exactly the type of player the team needed. Forced to move into the roll of PG for 8 games in mid season when the starting PG went down injured. Not only did he handle the PG duties but consistently drew the assignment of shutting down the opposing team's best player. Went for a season high 35pts vs Plymouth in the British cup and then record 31pts vs the Leicester Riders (film above). Grabbed a season high 11rebs vs Sheffield Sharks (3/15/10). Dished a season high 6 assists on multiple occasions during the season. Jerome consistently was the teams most consistent performer and was the steadying force on a team of talent but not always the best chemistry. After a hard fought semi final which saw Jerome score 17pts against NewCastle, Jerome and the Everton Tigers captured the 2009-10 BBL Championship with a victory over Glasglow in the finals! 2008-09: Signed with Inter Bratislava in Slovakia 2008-09. Again showed that he is a player of rare form able to do everything for his team to win. He did find the coaches philosophy very different from his own but still managed to make a mark on the league being selected to the all star 5 his second week there. Scored a season high 34pts vs Penzinok to go along with 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 29/11/2008. Followed that up the next week by dishing out a season high 4 assists to go along wtih 28pts and 6rebs vs then 2nd place Levice on 6/12/2008. Recorded a season high 13rebs vs Kosice to go with 19pts on 20/12/08. 2007-08: Signed with T71 Dudelange in Luxembourg and was one of the top imports in the league. Phenomenal rebounding stats for the season saw him as the best rebounding backcourt player in the league. Was 5th in the league in scoring and also recorded a blistering hot 46% from 3pt line. Came to the team a bit late but led them on a GREAT run through the league and they came up one game short of the playoffs. A great season. 2006-07: Signed with Club Ciclista Olympico in Argentina and immediately made his impact on the league felt. He led his team in minutes, points, steals and was second in both assists and rebounds. He also was the league leader in scoring for much of the season.

Great
outside shooting touch that make teams pay if he gets a clean look.
Can put it on the floor,
and is a great passer. Has the ability to play shooting guard
and to move to the small forward position. Possesses deep
range out to the NBA three point line but because he penetrates so
well often penetrates for the dish to other teammates. Jerome is the ultimate
team player to
make everybody else around him better. He has always been
the teams best defender and will shut down the opposing team's best
player. Is a GREAT leader and will carry that role on any
team. Has a knack for the ball and can easily pick up double
figure rebounding games by overpowering opposing SG and SF
position players. A definite pleasure to coach, he acts like a
coach on the floor always thinking one step ahead. No matter
where he lands overseas, success will follow that
team.
