Lokomotiv Avia continues to gradually form its squad for the new season, and the latest confirmed name is Alex Nikolov. The outside hitter will continue his career at the club where his volleyball journey began.
The Plovdiv club emphasized that the experience gained with the national jersey will now be invested in the team where he took his first steps. Thus, Lokomotiv Avia secures another important member of the squad for the upcoming championship.
Prior to Alex Nikolov's announcement, the "black-and-whites" had already confirmed several key figures. For the third consecutive season, Zhulien Georgiev will play for Lokomotiv Avia, having established himself as one of the leaders in attack and a fan favorite with his energy and fighting spirit.
Significant reinforcement also comes at the setter position with the signing of Dobromir Dimitrov. The Bulgarian international, an Olympic Games participant and a volleyball player with extensive international experience, returns to a club with which he has a strong emotional connection.
Libero Martin Ivanov also remains with Lokomotiv Avia. One of the team's most consistent players will continue to be an important figure in defense with his dedication and leadership qualities.
With these moves, the Plovdiv club is gradually forming the foundation of its squad, striving to combine experienced internationals with well-known names who have already proven their qualities with the black-and-white jersey. Lokomotiv Avia's recruitment is expected to continue in the coming days with new official announcements.
