Joy Volley Gioia del Colle closes the transfer window with a top-notch signing: Matteo Paris is the new red and white setter. Born in 1983, an athlete with extensive experience and personality, Paris arrives in Puglia with a world-class technical and human background. His resume includes numerous international experiences and eleven seasons in Serie A, including three in the prestigious Superleague.

This marks a return to Bari for the Roman athlete, who previously played for Molfetta and Castellana Grotte. His arrival completes a top-notch control room, providing the coach and team with a leader capable of making a difference on and off the court.

Enthusiastic and determined, Paris shared his first words as a Joy Volley player: “The fans had a huge influence on my choice of Gioia. I’m passionate, a pure competitor. The idea of playing in the cauldron of PalaCapurso excites me. I have to thank the President and the coach for having me here. I’m reunited with some friends before teammates: we spoke every day, we’re excited to start this adventure and spend time together. We’ll work hard to become a close-knit and winning team: that’s the only recipe I know.”
