PAOK continues its ambitious player selection for the new season, with focus this time on the center of the net. Jeffrey Jendryk, an active American international, joins the squad and is expected to significantly increase competition among middle blockers, where Bulgarians Nikolay Kolev and Nikolay Kartev were undisputed starters.
The 30-year-old Jendryk landed in Thessaloniki yesterday and was officially presented by the club. Standing at 208 cm, he is among the most physically dominant middle blockers of his generation. PAOK expects his power to bring a new dimension to their net play.
The transfer comes just days after the signing of Serbian international Uros Kovacevic, which is clear proof of PAOK's ambition to build a squad capable of fighting for the title.
In his career, Jendryk has played in the strongest European championships:
Germany
Poland
Italy
As part of the US national team, he is a starter and won a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Paris is an achievement that further highlights his class.
The club specifies that the total value of the contract is fully financed by Aristotelis Mystakidis, who once again supports PAOK's men's volleyball project. This gives the management the freedom to continue adding high-quality players.
