The Cignal HD Spikers have bolstered their roster ahead of their 2025 Spikers' Turf title defense by signing Jayrack Dela Noche, Vince Maglinao, KC Andrade, and Lhexen Rabit.
The Cignal HD Spikers are wasting no time as they reload their roster for a championship defense in the upcoming Spikers’ Turf conference, bringing in four recruits to bolster their already formidable lineup.
The HD Spikers have officially welcomed opposite spiker Jayrack Dela Noche, outside hitter Vince Maglinao, middle blocker KC Andrade, and Fil-Canadian libero Lhexen Rabit as part of their title-retention campaign.
“We’re looking to continue to build on the Cignal HD brand of excellence for men’s volleyball,” said head coach Dexter Clamor. “Kami nga ‘yung pinakamatagal na pro squad here sa Philippines 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.”
Among the most notable additions is Jayrack Dela Noche, a standout from UST who bagged the Best Opposite Spiker award in UAAP Season 85.
He also played for the Philippine national team in the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia and is fresh off back-to-back runner-up finishes with the Golden Spikers.
From Taft Avenue, Vince Maglinao transitions from a decorated run with De La Salle University, where he played a key role in their 2023 V-League championship and consistent UAAP Final Four finishes from Seasons 85 to 87.
He reunites with former teammate JM Ronquillo as they look to bring their chemistry to the pros.
Bringing championship experience from the NCAA ranks, KC Andrade arrives with two NCAA titles from Perpetual Help and a strong defensive reputation, having been named Second Best Middle Blocker in Season 99.
He also boasts three PUVL championships and aims to continue his winning tradition at the professional level.
Rounding out the new signings is Lhexen Andrei Rabit, a seasoned libero from Toronto Metropolitan University and Queen’s University in Canada.
A former OUA Eastern Conference First-Team All-Star, Rabit brings international pedigree and a cerebral approach to floor defense, thanks to his academic and athletic experience abroad.
Cignal has captured the Spikers’ Turf crown in the last three conferences and will seek to extend its reign when the next season kicks off this October.
