With this star studded lineup for this season, we may need to use some of our savings for a trip to Poland and meet these STAR players of Resovia.
Bartosz Kurek (Poland)
After spending last season in Italy with Lube Volley, the face of Polish Volleyball is back home and is expected to lead Resovia to defend their Plusliga crown.
Kurek and Asseco will also compete in the prestigious Champions League.
He may be playing as an opposite hitter with Poland but from the looks of it he will now play as an outside hitter with his club team.
Julien Lyneel (France)
For the very first time in his professional career, the 2015 European Championship leaves France to play in Poland. The left handed wing spiker may have had a limited role with the National Team this year but it looks like Julien is back in good shape after a knee injury last year.
May we also add that he is among the FIRST players in the world who confirmed his new team via Instagram. Teammate Kevin Tillie did the same as well.
Piotr Nowakowski (Poland)
This is Piotr’s 5th season with Resovia and has always been one of the team’s BEST middle blockers.
Before we forget, he got married this year.
Thomas Jaeschke
Thomas won the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Men’s DI-II National Championships and he was awarded AVCA Player of the Year in 2015.
According to USAV, he “left Loyola after his junior year to play for Asseco Resovia”.
$mart choice.
Other notable players on the team are German opposite Jochen Schops, Belarus’ Aleh Akhrem, Polish setter Fabian Drzyzga, Bulgarian outside hitter Nikolay Penchev and libero Krzysztof Ignaczak.
Good luck this season boys!
