A 206 cm setter arrives in Casarano and completes, together with Federico Ciardo’s return to the red and blue shirt, the set of setters on which Mr. Licchelli can rely.
We are talking about Riccardo Martinelli, born in 2002, Ravenna school, last season in force at Volleyball Bari in Serie A-3 and therefore a face already known to the rossoazzurro environment for having met him as an opponent in the past championship.
Athlete with great perspective and important physical qualities, Martinelli arrives at the court of Fabrizio Licchelli to continue his growth path in the role of setter where he has already distinguished himself first with the youth teams of Verona and Ravenna and then, in the 2020-2021 season , make his Superlega debut with the Romagna club. Before arriving in Bari, he always played in A-3 with the Pineto shirt.
These are the first statements of the new director of Leo Shoes Casarano: “I am thrilled to have chosen Casarano, it will certainly be a great opportunity to grow and for this I thank the company. I’m sure we’ll be able to work well with our team mates and the staff. A competitive season awaits us and this will be an extra incentive to do even better. I can’t wait to get started and feel the warmth of the audience which I am sure will always be numerous and lively.
