Latina has its three middle blockers for the coming season. Indeed, following the contract extension of Gitto and the signing of Patriarca, the club announced the addition of 22-year-old Pieter Verhees. The 205cm tall from Belgium came up in Maaseik, where he made the league-cup double. He took part in the Champions League this season, and had been in three Cev Cups before, which will make it four after the coming season with Latina.
“This year again, we’re putting together a young team but with great potential – said Candido Grande – We wanted to keep most of the group that did extremely well last season and add to it some quality and experienced players to accompany the young lads”.
