Henri Emmanuel Léon, a twenty-one-year-old French opposite hitter, will wear the Gas Sales Bluenergy Volley Piacenza jersey for the next two seasons. The agreement with the opposite hitter was reached in recent weeks and the arrival of Léon closes the section of places 2 in the roster of the next season of the red and white team: Alessandro Bovolenta and Henri Léon.
Born in 2003 in Paris on December 15, 204 centimeters tall, Léon is making his debut in the Italian championship and in the last four seasons he has played in France with the France Avenir jersey (2021-2022 and 2022-2023) and Sanit-Nazaire Volley-Ball Atlantique (2023-2024 and 2024-2025).
Léon’s sporting career has taken place entirely in France, his list of achievements includes the victory of the French Ligua A in the 2023-2024 season with the Sanit-Nazaire jersey, which, after finishing in seventh place in the regular season, won the championship for the first time in its history by beating Tour in the final.
This season he played in the Champions League: placed in Pool D, he finished the group in third place behind Perugia and Halkbank Ankara and the opposite hitter finished with 46 points in three games played.
Henri Emmanuel Léon is a still very young player who would be an understatement to call “physical”. A mountain of 204 centimeters in height and muscles who already uses his power very well. Between attack, serve and block play, he is an opposite hitter who can have many points in his hands to put on the scoresheet. When he spikes, he always does it with all his arm and full force.
