Ortona announced the signing of Sam Holt. Born on 20 June 1993 in Cincinnati, the US giant came up in the California State University (2010 to 2015) and had his first European experience last season in Perugia. He had begun the new season in Verona.

« We are convinced this is a top quality player – said sport director Massimo D’Onofrio – It’s definitely a plus for our team and this is a great opportunity for him to show his talent. He is strong, has fighting spirit and is a great spiker. The club is delighted with the addition as we needed to fill the void left by Janis Peda ».
