Two-time All-Star guard Epiphanny Prince was hired as the New York Liberty’s director of player and community engagement, the team announced Wednesday.

The move comes one day after Prince, 36, announced her retirement as a player after 14 WNBA seasons.

“I’m very excited about my new role with the Liberty,” Prince said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity and can’t wait to work with the coaching staff, players, and everyone in this great organization.

“Being in my hometown of Brooklyn makes it even more amazing, and I can’t wait to play my part in helping the community.”

Prince averaged 10.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 315 career games with the Chicago Sky, Las Vegas Aces, Seattle Storm and Liberty. She was selected fourth overall by the Sky in the 2010 WNBA Draft.

“We know Piph will be a phenomenal addition to our front office between her decorated playing experience, basketball IQ, and leaguewide knowledge,” Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb said. “Piph’s legendary career is sewn within Brooklyn’s basketball fabric, and as a former Liberty player, this next step in her basketball journey is truly special.”
