He started the season with Vichy in the French Pro B league and accumulated 10.6 points, 4 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.9 steals over 34 games. Eito started playing for Cognac before signing with Asvel Basket in 2006 as a teenager. He was a member of the squad that won the French Cup in 2008 and won the French championship in 2009 and made a handful of Eurocup appearances during that time too. Eito joined Vichy in 2009 and played there until he joined Le Mans at the end of last season. With Orleans he is expected to serve as the backup to Marco Pellin.
