The first foreign player in the history of La Bollente Volleyball arrives from Slovakia.

After a long experience in Serie A in various European countries, spiker Michal Petras, born in 1996, is ready to wear the Negrini CTE shirt.

In Italy for three years, first in Casarano (A3) and subsequently in Pordenone (A2) in the last two seasons, he brings with him a career studded with successes in various European countries, as he himself says:  “I’m 27 years old, this will be the my eighth season abroad. I started playing volleyball at the age of 12 in the city where I live (Humenne). My professional career began in Austria where I played two seasons with AICH/DOB with which I was named MVP of the championship, which I then won in the 2017/18 season. Then I moved to Germany to Friedrichshafen (GER) where I won the Cup, Super Cup and came second in the championship. Subsequently I went to Switzerland to Lindaren Volley Amriswill, where I won the Super Cup again, and the title of MVP of the regular season, a season which ended in the semi-finals due to covid. The following year I returned to Slovakia to TJ Slavia Svidnik, a club in a small town where I achieved a great victory: meeting my current girlfriend and from the 2021/2022 season I have been playing in Serie A in Italy. My first year was in A3 with Casarano where the team had the chance to maintain the category and we managed to reach the semi-final of the play offs. Then I moved to Prata di Pordenone in Serie A2 and it was a fantastic experience to reach fifth place for two consecutive years and access to the play offs. Every experience has left something special in my heart”
