Noel Kampton will suit up for the Criss Cross King Crunchers before heading to Thailand in December to join PSNKK Club for the 2025 Volleyball Thailand League season.
Fresh off a stellar final UAAP season, Noel Kampton is set to make his professional debut with the Criss Cross King Crunchers, his mother club, before heading overseas to join Thailand’s PSNKK Club later this year.
Kampton recently signed with PSNKK, the 2024–2025 Volleyball Thailand League (VTL) bronze medalist, and is expected to report to the squad by December.
Until then, the former De La Salle star will bolster the King Crunchers’ campaign in the Spikers’ Turf.
“Noel Kampton has recently signed with his mother club in the Philippines, the Criss Cross King Crushers and will see action in the Spikers Turf,” Kampton’s agency, Thought Lab Corp, wrote in an Instagram post.
“In December 2025, Noel will travel to Thailand after signing with PSNKK Club for the Thai professional volleyball league for men,” the agency added.
The high-flying outside hitter is coming off a career-best collegiate season, where he led the UAAP in scoring with 274 points.
Known for his explosive athleticism and scoring efficiency, Kampton was a driving force behind La Salle’s Final Four runs in the past two seasons.

His addition is a significant pickup for PSNKK, which is looking to build on its recent promotion to the VTL. As for Criss Cross, Kampton’s presence is equally valuable as the King Crunchers begin their campaign without MVP Jude Garcia and Jaron Requinton, who shifted their focus to beach volleyball once more.
Kampton joins a growing list of young Filipino volleyball players who made the jump to international leagues, which includes the likes of Jia de Guzman, Marck Espejo, Maddie Madayag, Jaja Santiago, Bryan Bagunas, Ced Domingo, and Mylene Paat, among others.
