Cignal is determined to extend its championship streak as it retools early, signing four new players ahead of its 2025 Spikers’ Turf Reinforced Conference title defense.
The HD Spikers, the longest-tenured professional squad in the country, have welcomed opposite spiker Jayrack dela Noche, outside hitter Vince Maglinao, middle blocker KC Andrade, and Filipino-Canadian libero Lhexen Rabit into their roster.
“We’re looking to continue to build on the Cignal HD brand of excellence for men’s volleyball,” HD Spikers head coach Dexter Clamor said.
“We’re the oldest professional men’s volleyball pro squad here in the country and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Hopefully, with these new additions, we’ll be ready to defend our crown in the upcoming conferences.”
Jayrack dela Noche, a former University of Santo Tomas standout, brings his collegiate experience to the pros after graduating with a degree in Fitness and Sports Management.
A consistent force on the right pin, Dela Noche earned the Best Opposite Spiker award in University Athletic Association of the Philippines Season 85 and led his team to back-to-back runner-up finishes in Seasons 85 and 86.
He also gained international exposure as a member of the Philippine national team during the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia.
Meanwhile, Maglinao is also making the leap to the pros after completing his UAAP eligibility for De La Salle University.
