BKS Bielsko-Biała seems to be the preferred places for Polish players to play their last few seasons (Aleksandra Jagieło comes to mind). The team has recently announced in its official website that libero Paulina Maj-Erwardt, who in her career amassed over 100 caps with Poland’s national team, is coming out of retirement to join the club. The 31-year-old, who is a two time Polish champion and an EuroVolley bronze medalist, has played her whole professional career in her home-country, including a three year stint with BKS from 2005-2008.
Here is what she had to say to fans:
“I am very pleased that after all these years I am coming back to the club where I really started my volleyball adventures. I am glad that I will defend the colors of the club once again and enjoy my fans. I hope we will have good games. I hope that we will create a good team and together with the fans promote great volleyball. It’s my little goal to give fans positive emotions through my game. I love this city and I think that if it was not so far away from my family I would live here. I have many friends here, so I am all the more happy that I will be able to play in Bielsko-Biała again.”
The team’s coach was likewise very pleased with the news:
“Paulina is one of the best players in this position. I am convinced that her experience will greatly help our younger players, who now will have whom to learn from. I am glad that she decided to represent BKS PROFI CREDIT Bielsko-Biała!”
BKS Bielsko-Biała finished its last season in 7th place with a 12-15 record.
