AFTER 11 years with Cignal, Jheck Dionela has found a new home.
The veteran libero will take her talents to young Farm Fresh for the upcoming PVL All-Filipino Conference.
The Foxies made their first offseason move official on Saturday.
LOOK:
"After a long and historic run as an HD Spiker, proficient libero Jheck Dionela is ready to add a new chapter to her tale as she brings her talents to the orange side of things. The newest Foxy in town is fast, slick, and bursting with experience!"
Whole lot of (HD) history
At 4-foot-11, Dionela stood with the HD Spikers since the club’s inception in 2013 and their eventual entry in the now-defunct Philippine Superliga (PSL) after a title-winning one-year stint prior with the Cagayan Valley Lady Rising Suns in the Shakey's V-League.
She won one of her four PSL best libero nods in the 2017 Invitational Conference where Cignal captured its one and only league title to date.
In the seven-year period until PSL's eventual cessation in 2020, Dionela and the HD Spikers had five runner-up finishes and seven bronze medal wins.
Since Cignal jumped ship to the PVL, the 11-year-old club has racked up two silvers and five top three runs.
Farm Fresh fierce
After a last-minute stint in last season's week-long PVL Invitational Conference, the Shota Sato-led Foxies are out to reap the fruits of their ongoing rebuild.
With ace spiker Jolina dela Cruz yet to even enter the fray, an abundance of up-and-coming talents are abound in Farm Fresh in the likes of Trisha Tubu, Kate Santiago, Caitlin Viray, and team captain Louie Romero.
But on the defensive front, Dionela's addition is a much-needed one, as she'll infuse veteran championship experience to the Farm Fresh floor alongside Janel Delerio and Cae Lazo.
