After three years of waiting, middle blocker of Zaksa Kedzierzyn-Kozle can enjoy a new chapter of his life. Along with his whole family, he gained Polish citizenship.
Jurij Gladyr (born in Ukraine) has been a part of PlusLiga for a long time. In 2008 he came to Warsaw to play with AZS and he made a great impression at once. Year later he moved to Zaksa Kedzierzyn Kozle, where he still belongs. Few days ago he received a new document, confirming that as of right now, Gladyr is the citizen of Poland. Also his wife and his daughter (born in Poland) can enjoy this paper. Gladyr admits that his family is going to stay in Poland for good and that he would love to play for his new national team.
This situation gives new opportunities for Daniel Castellani, who now can combine his team in a different ways. In PlusLiga there is limited space for foreigner players on the court (3 out of 6 in the field) and with Gladyr being officially Pole, Castellani can try some new solutions.
