The Cignal HD Spikers continued its offseason buildup as it snatched free agent opposite spiker Jovelyn Fernandez.
The former FEU Lady Tamaraw played two conferences for the F2 Logistics Cargo Movers before being released by the squad in December 2023.
“As one of the more experienced teams dito sa PVL, sobrang swerte namin to get one of the youngest players in Jovelyn this year. Hopefully we can continue to develop her and help her reach yung full potential niya dito sa professional level,” said Cignal HD Spikers head coach Shaq Delos Santos.
Fernandez brings her young career to one of the country’s oldest volleyball pro clubs as Cignal celebrated its first full decade last 2023.
“Sobrang happy to be a part of this Cignal team, especially with how they finished strong in the last two conferences sa PVL. Looking forward din ako na matuto kay coach Shaq and sa ates ko na galing din sa FEU. I’m excited to learn new things and kung paano ko madadala sa next level yung laro ko through his help and with the whole coaching staff dito sa Cignal,” shared the UAAP Season 85 Best Opposite spiker.
In last year’s UAAP Season 85, Jovelyn served as Morayta’s main cog, placing fourth in service aces and ranking seventh in spiking. She helped lead FEU out of a last place finish the season prior as they improved their record from 1-13 to 6 wins and 8 losses.
