Three-time PVL MVP Brooke Van Sickle has chosen familiarity over uncertainty.

Following Petro Gazz’s decision to take a leave of absence, Van Sickle opted to stay close to home, reuniting with several former Angels at Nxled for the 2026 Premier Volleyball League season, the team announced Thursday.

Van Sickle is not alone. The Chameleons are also welcoming two-time league MVP Myla Pablo, two-time Finals MVP MJ Phillips, and promising young setter Jules Tolentino, all set to reunite with their former teammates in their new home.

All four players played pivotal roles in the Angels’ recent triumph in the season-ending Reinforced Conference, guiding fifth-seeded Petro Gazz to their third championship in the same conference and fourth overall.

Now, they aim to recreate that same magic as they help Nxled pursue its first breakthrough in the league.

Other former Petro Gazz players who have joined the Chameleons include Jonah Sabete, Djanel Cheng, Bang Pineda, Ranya Musa, AA Adolfo, and Jellie Tempiatura.

Nxled also signed veteran middle blocker Aby Maraño and setter Joyme Cagande from Chery Tiggo, along with middle blocker Aduke Ogunsanya from Choco Mucho—bringing their total number of new recruits to 14.

They will join an Nxled core that includes Lyann de Guzman, Chiara Permentilla, Krich Macaslang, Lucille Almonte, Jovelyn Fernandez, EJ Laure, and Mayang Nuique, among others.
