MANILA, Philippines — The Cignal HD Spikers acquired the country’s top player Bryan Bagunas and a slew of talented young blood as part of its major retooling for the Spikers’ Turf unfurling March.

“Excited ako to begin this new chapter of my career with the Cignal HD Spikers,” said Bagunas, who is still playing for the Taichung-based Win Streak in Taiwan but will plunge straight into action as soon as he returns home this summer.

The HD Spikers, now on their 10th year as a club team, also tapped Ron Rosales, Giles Torres, Madz Gampong, Nas Gwaza, Cian Silang and libero Vince Lorenzo to further beef up their roster that includes former Spikers’ Turf MVP Joshua Umandal, Alfred Valbuena, EJ Casaña, Lloyd Josafat and new team captains Wendel Miguel and JP Bugaoan.

Bagunas’ arrival instantly filled the massive void left by Marck Espejo, who transferred to the Tai Bundit-coached Rebisco more than a week ago.

With men’s volleyball continuing to rise – with new teams, new players, and new competition – Cignal is prepared to level up their game and remain on top of the standings, finishing every conference as a champion.

“This 2024, we’re coming back with a renewed squad, may gustong patunayan, at syempre andun pa rin yung gutom. Grateful kami kay Bryan that he signed with us, and also all our new bloods who will bring in their effort, energy, and lessons to the team,” said Cignal men’s head coach Dexter Clamor.
