Aurispa Lecce officially announces the signing of opposite Gaetano Penna.
Born in 2004, 206 cm tall, Penna has just won promotion to Serie A2 with Macerata. He played in the Lube Volley youth team, making his first team debut in the 2021/22 season. The spiker was also called up to the Under 20 National team, with which he won gold at the European Youth Festival (EYOF) 2022 and then the European Championships in the category.
Penna tells his story, explaining the reasons that led him to choose the Salento team: “Aurispa Lecce was the team that was most interested in me and that had been following me for some time. Antonio Scarascia (sports director, ed.) called me and told me that they wanted to focus on me and I wanted to embrace this project, because it gives me energy and makes me feel important.”
“The personal and team goal – adds the opposite – is to do the best possible and achieve the best result. I am superstitious and prefer not to commit myself, but we will work to obtain the best. We will try to create a united, close-knit team that plays well and above all that has fun.”
Then comes the message to the fans: “I’ll wait for everyone at the gym, because I have a bit of a fiery soul and I like the Leones’ support.”
At the same time, Aurispa Lecce announces that the commercial partnership with DelCar Automotive has come to an end, which will not be the title sponsor in the 2024/25 season. The company thanks the owner Mario Ciardo and the entire DelCar family, for having supported the Salento club and for having contributed to achieving the sporting goals in the season just ended.
From today, therefore, the company will take the name of Aurispa Lecce.
