Grande described him as “one of the strongest outside hitters in the world”. Latina has just signed Nikolay Pavolov, who won the World League 2013, got the gold at the European Championships and silver in the grand Champions Cup. And in 2013, he was simply the MVP of the world league and also named best player of the Russian Superliga 2014. This is not an everyday signing but a very exciting news for the Latina fans. At club level, he played for five years at Novosibirsk, where he won the Russian cup twice. Then he added another trophy in 2012 with the Cev Cup at Dinamo Moscow. Three years at Novgorod followed. “We already had a good roster but he will bring us to another level” added Grande.
