After stints in Japan and Thailand, Marck Espejo is set to become the first Filipino to play for top division Bahrain Volleyball League with Bani Jamra.
Espejo left for Bahrain on Thursday, November 5, as he pursues his third overseas stint as a professional.
The country's top spiker looks to boost the team that lost its last 5 games in the league that will kick off the 2020/2021 season on Sunday, November 8.
The UAAP's lone 5-time MVP in men's volleyball will end his contract on January 30, 2021.
Espejo was vital in the Philippine men's volleyball team's breakthrough silver medal finish – for the first time in 42 years – in the country's hosting of the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
The 23-year-old spiker, who first played for Japan V. League's Oita Miyoshi Weisse Adler in 2018, signed with Visakha Volleyball Club in the Thai league right after the SEA Games. – Rappler.com
