Profile
He is one of the emerging players in his position on the international scene, combining power with well-developed technique—enough to break down even the most organized blocking and defensive systems set up against him. Trentino Volley knows this well: during his first two seasons in Italy wearing the Cisterna Volley jersey, they often struggled to contain his explosiveness. The award for top scorer of the 2023/24 season speaks for itself.
With a barrage of winning attacks and aces, he also carved out a key role in the French National Team, living the dream of winning an Olympic gold at home during the 2024 Paris Games.
Now in Trento, he’s aiming to take another step forward, establishing himself as the team’s go-to heavy hitter—the one you turn to in tough moments, knowing he’ll close his eyes and swing full-force at anything set above his head. A true old-school opposite.
