Padova completed its third signing of the off-season with the addition of Nicola Leonardi. Born in 1988 in Trento, the middle blocker played last season for Ravenna. Leonardi had won the national title Under 18 with Trento in 2006 and was part of the Italian national team under 23 in 2010 and 2011.
“I still have to prove what I can do and I can’t wait to emerge – said Leonardi – I want to bring this will to play in training and convey it to my teammates. I already know coach Schiavon because he has been my coach in the National Team juniors, it lasted only one month but I remember I learned a lot”.
