MOVE TO POLAND
After playing volleyball in France for the previous six seasons, he moved to Poland to join Stal Nysa ahead of the 2020/21 PlusLiga season. He has a Polish mother and is fluent in the Polish language. "Playing in Poland was my childhood dream. I have known for a long time that the rivalry of volleyball players in Poland looks completely different than, for example, in France. I mean the atmosphere during matches. After all, as far as I know, volleyball is the number one or two sport here in Poland." (sport.interia.pl, 02 Aug 2020)
