It is the opposite of Lithuanian Edwin Vashkelis the new coup carried out by the Joy Volley Gioia del Colle in view of the next championship of Series A3.
Very active on the market, the red and white management did not miss out on one of the absolute protagonists of the third national category in the last three years who, with 655 points scored in 28 matches played, dragged Rinascita Lagonegro to reach the play-off objective in the last season.
Having approached the world of volleyball at the age of fifteen, Edvinas immediately showed his important qualities and technical skills which, in a short time, allowed him to reach the top Lithuanian league, where he defended the colours of Elga Šiauliai and Flamingo Volley-SM Tauras, and to participate in numerous youth beach volleyball competitions with his national team.
After gaining experience in Estonia, Belgium, Lithuania and Germany with the clubs Parnnu Vōrkpalliklubi, Par-ky Menen, TK Rūta and Volley Bisons Bühl, the doors of the A3 series open for him in the 2021/2022 season.
In Italy he left his mark, scoring 1802 points in 82 matches played with the jerseys of Team Volley San Donà di Piave, Farmitalia Catania, Aurispa Libellula Lecce and, finally, Rinascita Lagonegro.
Ready to compose with Peppe Longo a dream setter-opposite diagonal, the twenty-eight year old athlete already has clear ideas about the objectives to pursue in the next season: «I’m here to win it all – his first words -. The company is working hard to build a strong team, equipping it with all the resources and qualities needed to compete on all fronts in the A3 championship. From August it will be up to us to create a solid, united and motivated group, capable of always expressing a very high quality of play and a winning mentality. – specifies the new opposite of Joy Volley -. Many have spoken to me about Gioia del Colle, its important volleyball history and the great passion of its fans. I can’t wait to play in the magical atmosphere of PalaCapurso and, with winning attacks, offer my contribution to a top championship».
