The former Macerata captain, Igor Ormcen, who now plays in the Japanese league, is back in town and joined the group in training in the second week of pre-season. The Croatian outside hitter will train with Macerata all week to prepare at best for his second season with the JT Thunders of Hiroshima.

“To be back here with my gears to train brought me a special feeling – said Ormcen – I left here a big part of my heart, I had unforgettable years here leading to the league title, which was a dream come true. I have a lot of friends here, and I always keep in touch even when I am on the other side of the world”.
