Molfetta brings in a player considered to be one of the most promising Brazilians prospects: setter Thiago Pontes Vesloso. Born in 1993 (185cm tall), Thiaguinho has a magical touch, refined fundamentals and a rare court vision. This season he played for the famous Sesi, with which he reached the Superliga semi-final. Thiaguinho is part of the talented generation that won the Under 23 World Championship in 2013. He is a great friend of Joao Rafael.

And the Brazilian cannot wait to get started, he has already started to learn Italian: “I am very happy to be part of this team – he said in Italian – And I am certain this will be an excellent season. This will be my first year aborad, I’ll face a new language, a new culture, and I’ll play in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. This will be a great Challenge”.
